I was very impressed with my Dr telling me the truth about my condition and explaining everything out! I told me how many other Drs were cowards about not wanting to take the time to talk to me and explain what could happen with surgery or with out it! Thank You Dr!

As far as I am concerned Dr. Hsu can do no wrong. He recently removed a meningioma from my brain. I have all the faith in this world and knew I would come thru my surgery very well. Thanks so much Dr. Hsu.

He was running late so wedid not see him until 30 minutes after my appointment time. He was not late the last time I saw him so maybe there was an emergency. He did spend a really good amount of time with me, answered all our (my spouse was with me) questions, took very through notes and was not rushed. That really means a lot to me!

Dr Hsu always takes the time to explain my test results, discuss my condition, explain options, is always upfront with potential risks and during all of that he talks to me like I am intelligent and never talks over my head. He makes me feel enlightened and in charge of my life. I always feel very comfortable at my appointments.
