Didn't listen to my issues. Was told he would prescribe 20 pills for pain but when I went to the pharmacy the prescription was for only 15 pills! What? Dishonest. I felt like I was suspicious for even asking for narcotics. My 30 surgeries apparently did not factor in to the fact I might need medication help. If you have an option, don't see Dr. Hsu or even go to the ucla pain management clinic. Terrible

Dr. Hsu is a kind, caring and brilliant doctor. I have been his patient for 10 years and and always felt completely confident in his treatment. I truly feel he is one of the finest doctors I ever met.

Dr. Eric Hsu is wonderful. He listens and communicates well. He spends time with me each visit and he actually solves problems other doctors have been unable to even begin to help. He is a caring human being who goes above and beyond to deliver excellent medical care. Best pain management doctor ever.

Dr. Eric Hsu is an exceptional doctor. He is very considerate, answering all questions, no matter how small, with patience and understanding toward your chronic pain needs. He is very through "crossing every T and dotting all his I's". He called my husband and I back on a Friday night @ approx. 7:30p.m to ease our worries over a low blood count. Reassuring us of the alternate possibilities of my blood work up. I HAVE NEVER HAD A DOCTOR CALL ME "AFTER HOURS" ON A FRIDAY NIGHT. Most doctors will "let it wait til Monday." DR. HSU GOES ABOVE AND BEYOND. I TRUST HIM WITH MY LIFE. HE HAS PROVED THAT HE IS ONE OF VERY FEW DOCTORS THAT KNOW, PRACTICE AND ADHERE TO THE HIPPOCRATIC OATH.
