Patient Reviews

January 07, 2026
Dr. Hsiao was very knowledgeable and made it easy t understand. He was also aware of new procedures and how they might benefit me.
December 30, 2025
Dr. Hsiao is wonderful-professional, kind and highly skilled. I am very fortunate that he is my doctor.
December 29, 2025
The doctor who interviewed me first was very good in answering my questions and concerns, then when Doctor Hsiao explain me what is it that he can do for my shoulder I felt very comfortable with he's knowledge and the recommendation that he gave me. Definitely I will recommend them.
December 18, 2025
The office staff is very friendly and helpful. The nurses assigned to me for my surgery were awesome and made me feel very comfortable.
December 16, 2025
I specifically requested Dr. Andrew Hsiao. I previously met him for a similar issue with my right knee in April 2015. His nurse, was particularly helpful. She printed the 2015 and 2025 MRI reports. I was able to review the reports prior to the doctor's entry and he clearly explained the differences. I was delighted with my visit and the therapy he recommends. He listened carefully to my future desires concerning my physical well being. I am so glad I continue under PIH care. Thank you!
December 11, 2025
Appointment lead times are very long. Also for surgery time. I am experiencing a lot of pain, but have to wait for surgery because the schedule is full.
December 11, 2025
It was a pointless, useless appointment. He contradicted himself from the previous appointment. He stood there not having any answers, and when he spoke he contradicted himself more. When I brought up things that could be happening, he was irritated and would not consider other factors. When I requested another doctor who knew about tendonitis and bursitis, he became upset and reported that he knows about it, but he was not helping me or trying to figure out what was going on with me. At the end when my sister who was very irritated with his attitude and lack of knowledge asked him so there's nothing you can do for her although the previous doctor, Dr (name removed) said that if the steroid shots don't work we can go in and clean the scar tissue Etc, which this doctor contradicted and reported there's nothing to clean, he reported no he cannot help me. Waste of time and money. I will be reporting this to my insurance as they have requested for me to keep up with what my experience is moving forward with Presbyterian Hospital doctors.
December 09, 2025
Yes, it took me, I was there at the office at least, I'd say three hours. It took me a while to be seen. That's the only thing I can complain about, about how long it took them to see me. I was there, I thought, most of the whole day, half my day. So, yes, other than that, the precision, everything else is perfect except for the length of time I was seen. Thank you. I hope you guys can work on that, okay? And really help us get through there. Thank you.
December 03, 2025
Dr. Hsiao is wonderful. He cured me! My right meniscus was torn , and thanks to Dr. Hsiao's surgical skills, my right knee is way better. The ONLY problem is the parking lot. It is very uneven and has lots of cracks in it. This isn't safe. It is especially unsafe for the orthopedic patient!
December 02, 2025
The reason I answer the last two questions about recommending Dr Hsiao it's hard to get a an appointment now would make it more difficult in getting an appointment. PIH doctors have a to large of a load of patients. It's taken me 3 months to see an allergies and experience it with most PIH doctors.
December 02, 2025
Very professional and friendly
November 19, 2025
Andrew Hsiao is a great doctor and I completely recommend him to anyone.
November 18, 2025
It was my first visit and somehow he seemed to be pretty knowledgeable on some questions that I asked him. I was concerned. I was wondering about the stem cell. He mentioned, I wanted to know the importance of it or like how it was something that would work for me. Also, like I said, it's my first visit. I seem to be satisfied, but we'll be going back and see how that works. But so far, it's more likely, so I can't give like a Pacific 10 because I don't know yet. It's my first visit, but somehow it was a pretty good visit.
November 18, 2025
Excellent overall
November 13, 2025
He is an excellent surgeon and caring physician.
November 12, 2025
All the nurses in the preop ward very professional and helpful prior and post surgery
November 10, 2025
Everything was pretty, it was well handled, but with the exception that when I finished with the doctor, the girl, one of the girls that helped me to do sketching, she was really like pushy, like not taking the time to listen or to provide the proper information. Other than that, everything was well. Thank you.
October 29, 2025

Very professional
September 02, 2025
Always a efficient and productive experience. Best.
August 28, 2025
most amazing doctor I have spent time with in, I'd say the last year. I can't believe that I haven't seen him a long time ago. He gave me answers to everything that I finally needed. And since my broken rib, I haven't had any time that would be without pain. And he provided some good resources and also gave me a shot. and he's an amazing doctor. Keep him. Hire more doctors like him, please. God bless you.
August 28, 2025
The doctor explained everything, so i could understand. He took his time with me,he didn't rush. This was my first time seeing this doctor and I wasn't disappointed.
August 27, 2025
It is essential that you have trust in your medical professional. I trust Dr. Hsaio and the office staff in La Habra is what I expect friendly and competent Thanks Everyone
August 27, 2025
As always visit with Dr. Hsiao was perfect. My husband and I both have been blessed with the care by this doctor. Thank you very much.
August 26, 2025
My experience with Andrew was phenomenal. I'm a double entity, and I am 73, almost 74 years old. He was very patient. He asked me key questions. He listened to everything I had to say. And at one point, even when I teared up, he just grabbed both my hands and squeezed my fingers. He's very compassionate and loving. And apparently, whoever trained him, he did very well under their expertise and privilege. He's wonderful. and I am looking forward to working with him in the future. Thank you, Andrew. You are outstanding.
August 19, 2025
I am so very grateful. I know Dr. Hsiao very much cares and understands my goals of remaining physically active. And he recommends a plan promoting such physical activity. Follow through is tantamount!
August 19, 2025
I finally got somebody to listen to me
August 13, 2025
Excellent doctor wish he could be my primary care, doctor.
August 12, 2025
Dr Hsiao was attentive, friendly, easy to talk to, and explained things well.
August 12, 2025
I think waiting 6 weeks for a surgery is a time to wait. Maybe hire more surgeons if all your surgeons are over booked.
August 11, 2025
He listened to my concerns and was very professional about my care. He gave me options and explained everything in terms I could understand. Highly recommend to all family and friends.
August 05, 2025
Dr Hsiao is a terrific doctor, been seeing him for a year now. He listens to my concerns and has a great bedside manner.

July 10, 2025
Felt well taken care if
June 25, 2025
Hi, Dr. HSIAO is very nice. Have a sentence. I have a very big fell in my right shoulder dislocated from the ER and until see Dr. HSIAO, and they take more than 10 days because he's very busy, full of schedule. The problem is doctor very good, but doctor doesn't know. I have an emergency and no chance to see him. And the PA, when they schedule the African-American old man, he said, because you depend on your request, not for your condition. I don't want your older MRI to prepare when doctor have a time to see you. And then he also asked me,
June 24, 2025
Very thoroug, respectful, considered all test when he made his decision . I like that Dr offered physical therapy vs first choice surgery.
June 24, 2025
Okay, I think the provider was a good listener, but I would like him to have examined me for my shoulders and see what I can and can't do, what I'm able to do, so I could have a feeling that he understands what my strengths and limitations are.
June 17, 2025
Your parking system (word removed).
June 16, 2025
Great doctor and staff. Very pleased.
June 16, 2025
PIH has a good model for others to replicate however, the team could ease the wait times by adding more Physician to the team a 2 month wait for scheduling is too excessive.
June 11, 2025
He was excellent
June 04, 2025
The doctor listened to me and we discussed the shoulder issue. As Dr. Hsiao is new to me, I felt he was truly interested in hearing what I had to say and then examined my shoulder and then told me we needed a MRI to look further into the problem. I agreed with this initial decision and will proceed as he directed. Dr. Hsiao was very professional and extremely nice and professioal.
May 21, 2025
Very professional and very personable, just feel very comfortable with the Doctor
May 19, 2025
My name is (PHI removed) and I am very happy with the service I received as well as the staff, especially Dr. (name removed), much appreciated.
May 14, 2025
It was kind of funny. I was missing my stylus for my phone and the nurses were looking everywhere. Not a big deal-they are so cheap. Got home and it was in my shoe-the shoe I was wearing! Gotta love anesthesia brain. Everyone at one-day surgery was terrific.
May 06, 2025
The doctor's visit was very nice,. However , the parking lot is a nightmare to look for a spot. I spent over thirty minutes looking for a spot. When they build these offices, must allow for patients to find parking. Also having to pay, this money could towards bigger structures. Very frustrating.
May 06, 2025
The doctor was kind, listened and explained all my options. I felt very comfortable and sure he would do an excellent job with my surgery!
May 05, 2025
I the visit was fast and direct, the doctor explained everything.
May 05, 2025
Dr. Hsiao is the best! He is so professional and knowledgeable.
April 29, 2025
Hello, yes, I would recommend Dr. Hsiao and his office. Only thing is, as the one we recommend and it's hard enough now to get in, to get an appointment, that would mean that we just have to wait longer. So, but he is highly recommendable. But unfortunately, there is a time slot for getting things. Other than that, I highly recommend them. Thank you. Goodbye.
April 29, 2025
Dr Hsiao is one of the best doctors I have ever had .
April 28, 2025
The doctor is very, very professional. Thank God he treats you very well. Thank you, very professional. If I were 20, I'd give him 20.
April 24, 2025
Dr Hsiao was very thorough in explaining my condition and a plan of action to rectify it. He was attentive and respectful and he did not rush me. I appreciated his advise and look forward to him doing my surgery this year.
April 23, 2025
Receptionists are very kind and helpful. All staff are very professional and welcoming. Dr. Hsiao is excellent!!!!!
April 22, 2025
The doctor was very informative and answered our questions, most of all including (name removed), his assistant or his nurse. She was excellent, very cordial, happy face and made us comfortable.
April 21, 2025
My staff and the doctor is great. I've had three or four orthopedic surgeons in their offices. This is just tops. Always good. Thank you.
April 08, 2025
I'm thankful Dr Hsiao made us feel comfortable and confident my daughter's surgery will go smoothly and it will be a success.
April 02, 2025
Yes, I highly recommend him to my family. He's really, really well-mannered. Thank you.
March 25, 2025
The negative is having to wait for a call back to make appointment with the x-ray for the MRI. The person at the desk just happened to be taking off for a break and nobody else was able to make my appointment. So I had to wait for the following day for a call back. That's it. Thank you.
March 25, 2025
Dr. Hsiao and I had a rough beginning. But I was able to tell him what was bothering me. He listened to what I had to say, and apologized. We now have a much better relationship. Dr. Hsiao has been very helpful with my rotator cuff and my knee.
March 25, 2025
The medical staff was great! When I arrived, though, as I approached the receptionist, she just stared at me, not a smile, no acknowledgement. I finally said "good morning" to her & then she responded & said, "How can I help you". It made for a negative first impression of this office. The rest of the staff was nice.
March 17, 2025
MD's, staff all kind, attentive, listen and answer all questions.
March 17, 2025
Dr. Andrew Hsiao was very highly recommended

March 05, 2025
I always have a good experience with Dr Hsiao and his staff. I have no complaints.
March 05, 2025
Dr. Hsiao was a clear communicator. He gave me options and we came up with a treatment plan together based on his expertise and my comfort. I walked out feeling good about my next steps. He was confident without being aggressive which gave me confidence in him.
March 05, 2025
Just glad I was finally able to get to see my provider after being in pain for over a month and a half.
March 04, 2025

February 25, 2025
the staff are lovely and friendly. Made me feel at ease. Dr Hsiao discussed treatment options, and once decided, I made an appointment quickly. the injection was painless, and quick, and I was back to work.
February 24, 2025
Great doctor explain everything real good. Gave me a choice for the best. Thank you.
February 18, 2025
Dr. Hsiao is a FANTASTIC Dr. as far as I am concerned! He is very caring & easy to talk to & has a GREAT bedside manner! He is one of PIH's BEST Dr's.
February 04, 2025
The doctor was explaining everything thoroughly. He gave me the option of an injection or surgery and we both decided that injection will be better. If it didn't work then we would go for the option of surgery. Everybody was very kind and patient and I definitely would go back.
February 04, 2025
I had a great experience with this provider. The doctor explained in detail and listed to my concerns. I didn't feel rushed when explaining my concerns. The doctor wanted to make sure my questions were answered.
February 04, 2025
The front desk staff really need sensitivity training. Yes, they encounter all kinds of people, but these people are usually in pain, and should be treated with kindness. I found the staff to be rather rude. I needed to schedule an mri and was told that the lady that handled it would return in 15 min. She returned 40 min later. I was waiting the entire time. She also looked like she hated life and was not friendly at all. She then told me I needed to stand back in the general line to make a follow up appointment. This is not good patient care. Also, they made a mistake and gave me another patients paperwork. I returned it to them when I noticed it. My experience with this offices staff was a true test in patience and not in a good way.
January 30, 2025
I had a very positive experience in Dr. Hsiao's office for the admissions people. They're extremely helpful. The radiology tech, Abby I believe her name was, was wonderful and Dr. Hsiao himself was great. I have no complaints whatsoever. Thank you so much.
January 29, 2025
Dr. Hsiao is very professional and personable. He has great medical education and experience.
January 29, 2025
Always a rewarding interaction...highly recommended!
