It was my first visit with Dr. Hsu and I was very pleased with my appointment. She explained in detail what my options were and showed me my xrays. I plan on seeing her again.

I have been seeing Dr. Hsu for a thumb injury. I can honestly say she is one of the most down to earth doctors I have ever seen. She immediately puts you at ease and does not make you feel like "dollar sign". I had been having some numbness in my pinky & ring finger as well as pain in my thumb. After a throughout exam (including X-rays), she diagnoses me as having cubital tunnel syndrome and capsulitis of the thumb. She provided some sleeping/work modifications to help with the cubital tunnel syndrome that has helped significantly! As for the thumb, I have been receiving injections every so often when it flares up. I am not going to lie, the injections hurt like nothing else but Dr. Hsu is always so apologetic that she has to cause the pain. After she gives the injection, she is always reassuring me that it will feel so much better in a few days....she has never been wrong yet! I highly recommend Dr. Hsu. She is a top notch doctor!

Dr. Hsu is an amazing Doctor. I was having troubles with my hand and elbow for a while and she has helped me! From the start she had answered all questions and concerns. I ended up deciding to do surgery for tendinitis in my wrist and elbow and boy have things changed for the better! She did a wonderful job. Dr. Hsu is 100% the Doctor for anyone to go to for any hand/wrist problems!

Dr Hsu is an extremely nice and put me at ease immediately. She examined my finger, thoroughly explained what was wrong and what needed to be done about it. I would go back to her if ever needed for any hand issues and would definitely recommend her to anyone who needed help with their hand.
