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.

Amazing Dr.
Dr. Tsai saved both my hands. I had surgery on my right hand then 2 years later my left hand was having the same issue. He was the only one that diagnosed the problem and had an answer. If it wasn't for Dr. Tsai I would have had to left my job in law enforcement way to early. Thank you!

Dr. Tsai saved my right arm back in 1987. If not for him, I would have lost my arm to my elbow.

Dr. Tsai botched my median nerve graft surgery then spent the next 20 months ignoring my symptoms, my concerns, and even a statement by one of his own colleagues indicating the surgery had failed. Future test procedures – in which Dr. Tsai placed no value – proved that the surgery had failed and that the original problem remained unchanged. I have lived with burning nerve pain, numbness, and painful hypersensitivity for over two years as a result. My advice is to avoid this firm altogether.

Dr. Tsai performed surgery to release pressure on my ulnar nerve in October 2016. I had several incisions in my hand, wrist, forearm, and elbow. He left huge, unsightly scars that look like I was ripped open and less than a year after surgery, my symptoms are back and worse than ever. I will be in pain for the rest of my life thanks to his hack job. I absolutely do not recommend this surgeon.

This doctor used me has a human guinea pig. I am now and will be for life physically disabled due to the guinea pig surgeries performed on me by him. He is cruel. On my last visit 12/2015 he said he could not believe me about my pain, refused to give me a brace for my deformed arm that I am losing function in, he told me to have surgery or never come back to his office. I am left with a deformed, severely painful arm, a damaged leg and foot. He is a nightmare of a doctor. AVOID him!!!!!!!
