Dr. Hsu rocks. He's very professional. Explained everything he was going to fix during the procedure. Left me very confident he would fix my ankle back to when it was healthy.

Dr Hsu removed a stitch that was left in my right ankle that the tech had overlooked weeks prior during stitch removal. I had been complaining of irritation there. Dr. Hsu did the removal without the use of disposable gloves.

I'm fully confident with Dr. Hsu's assessment and recommendations

I do plan to see Dr. Hsu again. Our initial encounter was brief and therefore, I do not have enough experience to recommend him. He reviewed the MRI results with me and provided alternative options to what I am doing now for pain management.

Dr Hsu has been great. He spoke to me several times before the surgery. It was obvious that he had spent time with my x-rays and MRIs to evaluate the best path. In the second visit, he provided a new approach based on his reevaluation that he felt would be better for my long-term recovery. He was very concerned and caring.

I thought Dt Hsu was very kind and caring. He listened to my every word. Dr Hsu showed me my X-rays and explained in detail what was the root cause of my pain, he then gave me some options, as they say a picture paints a thousand words, I then got fitted for an ankle brace that had helped me tremendously. Thanks Dr Hsu for your expert professional opinion it meant a lot!

Great listener. Great doctor.

Dr. Hsu, has excellent bedside manner. He was caring and sensitive to my needs and explained my surgery and after care completely. My first follow-up appointment was exactly as he said it would be. I experienced some anxiety after the doctor had finished my exam, the nurses called him back into the exam room and without hesitation he came to check on me to ensure I was ok.I really appreciated his concern.
