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.

Dr. Hsu is my favorite doctor to receive care from. He has helped treat my broken foot with thorough care in the past and is careful to ask very insightful questions towards ongoing care.

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!

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.

Professional, responsive and friendly. A few weeks prior at Howard County General, he did a great job with my leg, ordered a CT which found another break besides those from the X-rays and did a great job with the surgery to fix everything. I appreciate his quick responses to questions on portal.
