《打开中医之门：针对西方读者的中医导论》科学系统地介绍了中国传统医学的理论基础、临床应用及中西医结合治疗的优势。《打开中医之门：针对西方读者的中医导论》具有如下特点：1、中医理论部分。《打开中医之门：针对西方读者的中医导论》在介绍中医理论及文化背景的同时，也关注与相应时期西方（古希腊）医学理论及文化背景的比较分析，以此使西方读者对中医的理解更加清楚到位。2、中医基本知识部分。突出介绍中医一些独特的方法，及与西医的互补性。3、临床治疗部分。在病种的选择方面，《打开中医之门：针对西方读者的中医导论》没有简单地选择西医没有办法而中医有疗效的常见病种进行介绍，或简单地选取一些病例予以佐证，而是严格根据西方医学最为看重的“循证医学”原则进行病种的遴选和病例分析。
