5.0 star star star star starDr Tsai was compassionate and thorough. She took the time to answer my questions and her evaluation prevented me from having what was likely an unnecessary hysterectomy. The relief I felt after seeing is hard to describe. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone needed complex gyn care.

5.0 star star star star starI have already recommended her to a friend of mine in the area. Dr Tsai listened to me and made my concerns feel heard. I came with questions about which procedure would be most appropriate and we worked together to make a good decision for my medical care, and she got me scheduled for a surgery only a month out from the date that I came for surgical consult. I am completely satisfied with the care I have received thus far in the process and have faith that the rest of the process will go well.

5.0 star star star star starDr Tsai has been the only surgeon to listen to my concerns, symptoms and requests. She didn’t just tell me I was to young to make my own medical decisions even though I’m 30. She’s awesome and did great surgery. They have been great at answering questions through my chart and never make me feel like it’s a stupid question.

5.0 star star star star starDr Tsai explains everything in both detailed and laymens terms. She answers any questions I have and is very kind. She provides efficient but thorough care. Surgery was well explained before, during, and after procedure. Everything we discussed was done as needed during my surgical procedure.

5.0 star star star star starThe evaluation was thorough. She was collaborative and was comfortable with an informed patient who wanted to increase my understanding of the condition. Her presentation is direct and she shares what she is thinking, the pros and cons, etc. She is a doctor first, not a scientist.

4.0 star star star star star_borderVery pleasant but a busy. She stays true to facts and educates you however straight to the point which is good but also intimidating when dealing with the reproductive system in women. There were so many questions and responses that I had after I left at a commerce state then when I was in her office.

3.0 star star star star_border star_borderI didnt get a big intro from them and I felt as if I was leading the conversation of my suggested treatment. She seemed too non chalant about being my provider or not. I didnt get the full reassurance, guidance, and support I was hoping for. It was also our first visit. Although she didnt rush the conversation, I could feel its speediness.

5.0 star star star star starAgain, this was only my 1st meeting so what do I really know? But based on first impressions...Doctor Tsai was nice, funny and understanding, but also VERY knowledgeable, direct and thorough. I'm nervous about having uterine surgery, but Doctor Tsai's explainations and demeanor at my appointment were reassuring and I am glad to have her as my surgeon.

5.0 star star star star starshe was very helpful and made it clear she was there to work with me to achieve what I wanted. She gave a detailed, easy-to-understand rundown of the procedure and all risks, as well as putting me at ease with the idea of surgery. It was very easy to communicate with her and I would recommend her to anyone I know who is also seeking a gender-affirming hysterectomy.

5.0 star star star star starDr. Tsai was very patient and explained everything about my condition to me. I had a laparoscopic for my ovarian cyst with the size of 10cm*10cm*8cm. The surgery went very smoothly, the incisions were so small and the recovery has been very well. The medical took very good care of me.

5.0 star star star star starIt’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. Thank you for taking such great care of me and I’m sure so many others!!!

5.0 star star star star starDr. Tsai is one of the most amazing healthcare providers I have ever had. She is thorough and takes time to explain things to me. I have a history of trauma, and felt comfortable and safe with her.

5.0 star star star star starShe spoke to me plainly and intelligently and asked for and responded to my questions without hesitation. If she didn't know the answer she was straight forward about it and explained what my alternatives were.

2.0 star star star_border star_border star_borderThe 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.

5.0 star star star star starIt has been 3 full business days since I saw Dr Tsai. I m still waiting for an outstanding item followup from Dr Tsai. Overall she is an excellent Dr. She is very patient to answer the questions we had.

5.0 star star star star starDr Tsai is detail oriented, explained my surgery and any possible complications in detail, she answered all my questions before and after the surgery. With each test result she writes a short note explaining the significance, which is unique to her. So glad I went to her for my hysterectomy.
