It’s clear Dr. Tsai has genuine concern for her patients. This was my first major surgery so I was no doubt nervous, and she made me feel comfortable and was a great doctor in general. On top of everything, my stitches are barely even visible. She’s amazing. I can only imagine what it’s like to be in a Doctor or Surgeons shoes and you guys are truly super heroes.

The doctor seemed a perfectly rational and technical, went well over the questions, was precise with the answers, kept any human connection or personalized advice away, and kept typing as I was speaking. Some of the record is not even fully accurate. It just felt awkward. Maybe because it was a tele-visit I am not sure, but showing little more compassion in addition to technical medical expertise would had been really nice.

Dr. Tsai is an excellent surgeon, but I didn't find her to have the best bedside manner. She's somewhat cold and impersonal. During a couple of my appointments she seemed impatient, i.e. she checked her watch in an exaggerated way, which made me feel rushed. However, her technical skills are more important, and I trusted that those were top-notch. Overall I'd recommend her and consider her a very good doctor.
