I was under the care of another nephrologist. My kidney functions continued to deteriorate despite my best effort in following the recommendations. I decided to change my care to Dr. Tse who saw me right away and developed a treatment plan for me. My kidney functions finally stabilized. I was so scared of needing dialysis treatment. Now, my concern is much less. Thank you Dr. Tse for providing such an exceptional care.

Excellent physician who takes care of my father's dialysis service. He spends a lot of time explaining me and my dad regarding all the problems. My dad always enjoy Dr. Tse's smile and sense of humor. He makes my dad complicated problems better for us to understand. It is rare to find such an exceptional quality physician.
