Dr. Tsai thoroughly explained my upcoming surgery in detail. We went through the pros and cons of certain decisions that I had to make as well. However, she didn't pressure me into making any specific decisions. It felt like my feedback was taken into consideration.

4.0

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.

Sometimes you just know right away when you’ve met a top notch doctor and surgeon. Dr. Tsai knows how to connect and how to explain medical information fully and she checks in to be sure you get it.

Dr. Tsai is kind, sensitive, and down-to-earth in the most comforting way. She is direct and to the point, which is critical when you are trying to make major decisions about your health, but she also takes the time to explain everything to you along the way. I appreciated Dr. Tsai's patience as I asked all of my questions and responded to all of my "what ifs," even when I asked things more than once. Not only did Dr. Tsai take care of me in the moment, she also helped me understand and weigh my options for the future. I left my appointments with Dr. Tsai with a course of treatment in the immediate but I am also armed with my next steps and the knowledge I need to take charge of my health care moving forward. I am grateful.
