Dr. Hsu showed me images of my current and previous MRI and pointed out where the latest injury changed things and gave me his professional interpretation of the results. I really appreciated that. It really helped me to understand my injury better.
Jason was great at laying out the probable risk/benefits for us. He is a great listener and he explains things thoroughly.
Dr. Hsu and his care team are very caring and I feel heard when I ask my many questions. I never feel rushed and I appreciate that they want to make sure that I am ok with the care plan before I go and if not encourage me to reach out to them. This team is very approachable more so than other clinics that I have interact with so I am very grateful for them and wish others were more like them.

Dr Hsu is among the very best orthopedic surgeons, I've had the privilege to work with
Dr Hsu's entire team has been wonderful throughout this process.
I was the primary care giver for both parents during the last years of their life, and my husband, as well. I've been in innumerable doctors' offices and hospital settings. I have never experienced the personal care and quality of medical care as yesterday with Dr. Hsu and his staff. I'd been referred to him three months ago after two failed shoulder surgeries and haven't had a functioning right arm for eight months. The trials to get an appointment or learn anything from the phone center staff were horrendous and exceedingly non-customer focused. Dr. Hsu and his staff were mortified that I had waited so long and did everything In their power to get me seen as quickly as possible. Every single healthcare professional with whom I Interacted was polite, friendly, considerate, professional and demonstrated care about me and my condition. For the first time In months, I have some hope that my shoulder will have some level of function post surgery.
Excellent experience! Dr Hsu is wonderful, took his time with my questions and answered everything satisfactory. I will highly recommend him to anyone seeking a good ortho practice!Thanks so much!
