Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Attention To Detail
From what I’ve heard Doctor HSU is excellent. Although his staff is not capable of paying attention to detail. This may be due to the complications of worker’s compensation. This has caused a total lack of confidence in this practice.

Amazing doctor and staff.
I have been with Dr Hsu since 2016. I have dealt with excruciating pain for years in my neck. With his non-prescription interventions he has helped me immensly. I don't think I would be functioning as well as I am with out him. The staff is amazing, wish some of the other doctors offices I use would work on the same principle as his staff seams happy and content.

Very likely Already have recommended him to many
My pain relief was like a miracle.. No need so far for another visit. Pain radiated from my shoulders up into my skull. I will return for an appointment at the first twinge of pain.

I have been a patient of Dr Hsu’s for well over 2 years following my spinal fusion. He is absolutely amazing. He’s kind, listens and gives you knowledgeable options. I never “dread” having to see him for a procedure, as he makes you feel comfortable and talks to you through everything he is going/or going to do, His office staff is friendly, works to get you in quickly. They are very knowledgeable as well! 10/10 for Dr Hsu and his office!

Dr. Hsu recommended me to not eat 20 bananas after fasting for a week and he also taught me that -emia means presence in blood. 10/10 would get injured again just to see Dr. Hsu.

I would highly recommend Dr. Hsu to anyone who is struggling with pain. He will take the time to listen to you and will work diligently to figure out the issue and determine the best solution possible. He is tremendously knowledgeable yet able to effectively explain your medical issue and potential treatments. He is kind, courteous and compassionate and truly cares about his patients and their well being.
