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.

Extremely highest recommendation
Dr. Hsu is a very caring, compassionate, knowledgeable and extremely confident and proficient surgeon. He gave me every possible scenario of my procedure. I was in so very much pain prior to surgery that it cost me the ease of everyday living! Post surgery was a breeze!! Have you ever heard of no pain after surgery? I experienced absolutely NO PAIN and I am 2 weeks post op as of today. He is an accomplished surgeon and an extremely kind person! I would recommend Dr. Hsu for ANY surgery.

I have congenital club foot. While I had multiple surgeries to correct this defect as a child, I still have residual issues that, unfortunately, worsened this past year. I sought advice from a pediatric orthopedic surgeon as to whom I should contact. He highly recommended Dr. Hsu. Dr Hsu is a wonderful doctor. He takes the time to listen to his patients, and works together with the patient to formulate a plan of care. While my orthopedic needs are complex, Dr Hsu was able to formulate a plan of surgery to help straighten my forefoot. My surgery was 3 weeks ago. Dr. Hsu called me the day after the surgery to find out how I was recovering. As extensive as the surgery was, I only needed acetaminophen for my post operative pain. His technical expertise, in combination with his bedside manner, makes him an exceptional doctor. I would highly recommend him to anyone who needs an orthopedic surgeon.

From OR to Post Op Care
Dr. Hsu and his team have been incredible. I had a severe injury that required surgery and post op care. Throughout the whole process I have felt supported. The whole office works like clock work! Definitely recommend.

Dr. Hsu has a calm disposition. He has been thorough and efficient throughout my ordeal with broken bones in both feet. Dr. Hsu performed my surgery in Feb of 22 and has been a fantastic source of reassurance through every step of my recovery. I highly recommend Dr. Hsu.

Knowledgeable and experienced Doctor!
Dr. Hsu performed surgery on my ankle. We met several times before and after surgery. Communications is extremely important for me and Dr. Hsu delivered there. He thoroughly went over all of the processes and the procedures to eliminate any misunderstandings. The surgery went well and I am in the healing stages. I respect his knowledge and appreciate his patience and kindness.

Very caring and superb Doctor
I have visited Dr Hsu on 4 occasions and was very happy with our interactions during the consults. He took the time to explain my condition and thoroughly explained it on the MRI images. He listen to my concerns and with his expert guidance we set up a plan of action. Pain management and mobility are my goals and these are being achieved without the use of narcotics. I strongly recommend Dr Hsu.

My dislocated toe
I injured my toe & now I have a dislocation. I knew that I needed surgery to correct it even before going to see Dr Hsu, He advised surgery because I will get Arthritis in the future. So I am waiting for a surg date. I find Dr Hsu a very smart surgeon.

Dr. Hsu’s expertise and ability to explain complex medical procedures with a calm demeanor gave me confidence that I was in excellent hands for my ankle surgery. His entire team (Dr. Hsu, Melissa, Dr. Farah, Dr. Lee, Sarah, and more) has been A+ in regards to professionalism, knowledge, accessibility, good humor and care. In a time when health professionals have been pushed to the max, Dr. Hsu and my entire care team deserve my utmost gratitude. They are first in class!

I went to Dr. Hsu for an ankle sprain that had been treated by another physician initially. I had anxiety about coming to a new doctor after a negative experience with another who was dismissive and rude. I had lowered my expectations and just wanted quick resolve to mobility and pain. Dr. Hsu is calm, diligent, and personable. He focused on my injury and gave me clear information as to options for my treatment. I felt comfortable to ask questions (despite my prior situation and anxiety) and most importantly felt heard. I have seen other orthopedic specialists for fractures, acl tears, and such. Dr. Hsu is a standout professional. The only drawback was that it took a while to get in to see him.

I saw Dr. Hsu after a complex ankle fracture. Dr. Hsu took the time to address each and every component of this complex fracture during surgery. Upon discharge, he was very thorough and detailed oriented. After surgery, when I had few questions and concerns, he immediately provided us the emergency appointments and addressed each and every concern that we had. Dr. Hsu followed up my post-surgery care and the fact that I can walk now is a miracle that he took such excellent care of me. Having the right surgeon means a whole lot when it comes to the success of the surgery and life after rehab. Dr. Hsu is very thorough, extremely patient, detailed oriented and a highly skilled orthopedic surgeon. He is truly an asset to Johns Hopkins Orthopedics and the very best ankle specialist!
