Patient Reviews

November 06, 2024
I was very highly satisfied from check in to check out and in between with nurses to Dr.
November 05, 2024
Very good Thank You!
October 30, 2024
Dr. Hsiao is professional, warm, gifted, and has a good sense of humor. He does not catastrophize things, injuries are just a part of life; and there is something comforting about that approach. Five years ago, Dr. Hsiao fixed me 2x, 6 months apart! One surgery was an MCL repair, 2nd MCL and allograft. I've never had an issue with that knee and I am very active. Here we go for round 3 (other knee got jealous), hence why I came back and refuse to see anyone else.
October 29, 2024
Completely happy with my visit. I felt like I was in good hands.
October 28, 2024
Couldn't ask for a better doctor. I was very pleased. Thank you very much.
October 22, 2024
Totally satisfied
October 22, 2024
Dr. Hsiao was a great help to me. He is a wonderful doctor. I appreciate the x-rays. The whole visit and all the people I met exceeded my expectations. Than you.
October 15, 2024
I answered no to last question because it's hard enough getting in to see PIH doctors. So recommending would make the edits even longer.
October 15, 2024
DR VERY PROFESSIONAL
October 14, 2024
great experience felt very comfortable and I'm looking forward to the surgery.
October 09, 2024
Office staff, Dr. we're extremely kind and thoughtful. First visit with this provider , would highly recommend.
October 08, 2024
My name is (PHI removed) and I'm a double amputee. I was late coming to my appointment that day. I came in my own wheelchair. I was almost an hour late and almost in tears when I got there. On the way, I called the office and one of the staff gave me directions and told me, don't worry, I'm not going to lose my appointment, just make sure, you know, that I get there. When I got there, when I got there, even with a room full of people, they managed to see me in a timely manner even though I had missed my actual appointment time. The doctor was amazing. The staff was wonderful. And my experience, which was my first experience in this healthcare plan, was outstanding. I give this office and this doctor my highest vote of great customer service. Thank you.
September 30, 2024
Dr. Hsiao is a very Knowledgeable,courteous and a good listener. I highly recommend him.
September 30, 2024
I trust Dr Hsiao. If I have to have orthopedic surgery, he is the one I want to do it. The staff in the back room as well as the staff at the front desk do an excellent job, each time I come. I don't think I could ask for more from them. However, there is one problem that I consistently have with PIH. And that is just trying to make an appointment with any doctor. No way I can actually get a hold of anyone by phone. And the only other alternative is to go online and search through the PIH website. It is incredibly frustrating. I would greatly appreciate that this would be cleaned up. Thank you.
September 24, 2024
He's an excellent doctor and I appreciate him. Thank him for all his assistance and help.
September 24, 2024
The one girl at the front desk is kind of rude, I don't really want to deal with her again. For the most part everyone else was fantastic.
September 24, 2024
This was my initial consult with Dr Andy HSIAO. I am an active senior pickleball player and professional musician, recently affected by a rotator cuff injury. He thoroughly explained my rotator cuff issues, reviewing the MRI in detail. I received an injection and a plan going forward to help me maintain and improve my senior active lifestyle, reducing pain and improving shoulder function. I look forward to trusting my future orthopedic care with Dr HSIAO.
September 23, 2024
Excellent
September 11, 2024
The wait was to long I have to wait for a long time to get the appointment with my doctor. When you are dealing with bones you should not have to wait 3 weeks to see a doctor
September 10, 2024
The doctor and staff were very courteous, helpful and answered all my questions. I was seen in a timely manner and feel very confident that the doctor recommended the best treatment possible for my tendinitis.
September 04, 2024

First (name removed) the receptionist was helpful by getting me in earlier called an she got my appointment moved up because someone canceled I was in pain doctor Andrew Hsiao was very professional explained what option I could do for my shoulder was satisfied with my visit
August 14, 2024
The personnel at this office are extremely polite and attentive to patient's needs. They go out of their way to make sure that our doubts are cleared, especially when for the first time we had to deal with a disability claim. Thank you, (Three names), receptionists, I don't know all your names. Blessings to you all!
August 06, 2024
The Dr should give the patients more time and listen to them, he only spent 5 minutes or less with me. It was the assistant who helped me more than the Dr., she listened to me and was very kind.
July 31, 2024
Dr. Hsiao is a very caring doctor, very patient, explains my MRI very carefully and in detail. And he's an excellent doctor.
July 31, 2024
Excellent service
July 30, 2024
I feel very fortunate to have Dr. Hsiao as my doctor. Very knowledgeable, professional and caring.
July 29, 2024
THE PARKING LOT IS TOO MUCH. iT WAS A LONG LINE WAITING TO GET OUT OF THE PARKING LOT. yOU NEED A PHYSICAL PERSON THERE TO ASSIST PEOPLE, NOT A RECORDING! I DONT THINK WE SHOULD PAY 5.OO FOR PARKING AT A DOCTOR VISIT. WE ARE ON A FIXED INCOME AND EVERYTHING IS SO EXPENSIVE.
July 25, 2024
Dr. Hsiao and his medical team, including the ladies at the reception desk, were not only efficient, but also receptive, respectful, and above all, active listeners, i.e., people-oriented! Awesome experience, indeed!
July 25, 2024
The doctor was very understanding. I'm a senior and he was extra nice to me. Clear with diagnosing and offering me additional assistance if necessary.
July 23, 2024
Outstanding office. Staff and doctor were great.

July 16, 2024

July 16, 2024
Dr. Andrew Hsiao is amazing. I received a cortisone injection in my elbow and felt NO pain. I had this procedure done a few years back in the other elbow by someone else is had a horrible experience. I would highly recommend Dr. Hsiao.
July 15, 2024
Dr ANDREW Hsiao was a great surgeon.
July 11, 2024
Excellent service the orthopedic Dr Hsiao is the best always explains everything and takes care of whatever issues I have, I will recommend highly to family and friends
July 09, 2024
I had a very good experience with doctor & staff. Would gladly recommend to anyone.
July 02, 2024
I was called into the examine room quite quickly, but water in that room for about an hour, for the doctor. I was actually starting to feel claustrophobic, so I had to open the door, and walk around in circles; just move around, as I was beginning to feel anxious. I have a son with special needs at home, and I needed to get back to him. When the doctor finally came in, he looked a bit exhausted. He was still on task, but it was clear that his day was a challenging one! Also, I have never seen so many people in the waiting room. It was nearly standing room only. I realized in talking to some patients, that they had appointments with the same doctor, at the same time, which can only mean that patients are being double booked, which is so unprofessional. This is so unfair to everyone involved! Our time is just as important, and we should not be forced to have to wait so long. After the doctor finished with me, I still had to wait for the nurse, or assistant to come in and give me the authorizations.
June 27, 2024
It was wonderful. My husband and I are being seen here and they took care of us. We feel so much better and the staff was outstanding. Our doctor made us feel comfortable and he knew what worked for us
June 24, 2024
Dr. Schauer listens. He's fully aware of his specialty in medicine and I really appreciate and respect him. He's done my shoulder and my knee now. And so far, great. Nothing to complain about. He's good. He's great.
June 12, 2024
Dr. Hsiao is an excellent doctor because he was very knowledgeable about my illness. He answered all my questions in a way that I will understand. He discussed the treatment to my satisfaction. Overall, it was a very positive experience from the front desk to the doctor.
June 04, 2024
May you improve the care in customer service because you have to wait almost 45 minutes for someone to attend to you.
June 04, 2024
My wife was a patient of Dr Hsiao since 2021 so I was very familiar with him. He knew exactly what was wrong with my elbow and took corrective action. Great Doctor.
June 03, 2024
I believe Dr.Hsiao is ino of the best acknowledged Orthopedic and I trust my health and care in him.
June 03, 2024
Dr Hsiao and the outpatient surgical staff was amazing! I would definitely recommend Dr. Hsiao to my friends, and have. Thank you for everything!
May 23, 2024
Easy to talk too. Didn't feel rushed.
May 22, 2024
Hi, I just want to say that Dr. Hsiao was awesome. My son had ATL tear and he fixed it. Not only did he fix it, but he took him in as soon as possible. He was very diligent at explaining what needed to happen, gave us all the options, and he took the best care possible for my son. And the bottom line is the results, right? So my son is doing really well. His PT has been going great. He doesn't feel any pain. His knees feel like normal. And he's ready to get back into playing sports again. So I want to say thank you to Dr. Hsiao and appreciate everything him and his staff has done for us. I highly recommend Dr. Hsiao. He did a great job. Thank you.
May 22, 2024
Dr. Hsiao listens and explains what he thinks is the problem
May 22, 2024
Dr. Hsiao truly cares about his patients. His PA, (name removed), is thorough and caring. They are a great team.
May 21, 2024
He explained everything. He told me what was going to happen and he referred me to many options that I have. I will go and I'm very happy with my doctor.
May 15, 2024
As someone who has had a lot of traumatic experiences at different doctor's offices, it is really important for me to go into a new doctor with hope, but usually I'm quite nervous. Dr. Hsiao, I'm probably saying that wrong, I'm so sorry, Dr. Andrew, he was so nice and so kind and his staff was amazing. I felt very comfortable. I was very happy with my care. I felt like I was listened to and taken care of in a positive way. I feel very seen by this office and I am very grateful to have found them and PIH. So I think they are amazing. At this point I feel like they deserve something because trust me, when I go to new doctors, I don't usually feel this way.
May 14, 2024
(Name removed), the nurse, told me that she was going to serve as an interpreter because the doctor does not speak Spanish and I was only with the doctor, there was no interpreter and I need an interpreter, thank you.

Everything was perfect. All I can say is that the doctor was very good and I would recommend him to my whole family or anyone. Goodbye.
April 18, 2024
My first answer was incorrect. It should have been a four. I had a very pleasant experience with Dr. Hsiao and everyone that helped me through this ordeal. I would highly recommend Dr. Hsiao.
April 16, 2024
He explained what my options were. We agreed to get an injection and hopefully there's no need for surgery.
April 16, 2024

February 07, 2024

February 07, 2024
Yes, it's an excellent thing that I went through your facility.

It's a long way from home but worth it!
February 06, 2024
Everything is excellent. Thank you for the service.
February 06, 2024
My provider was very understanding and compassionate to my circumstances and worked to help my condition and situation. I highly recommend him as a provider.
January 31, 2024
Great Doctor, confident in his ability.
January 30, 2024
You really need to fix the elevator at the Wells building. And lacking that, have someone directing people to the correct staircase so they don't get to the 4th floor and have the door locked. Nothing like getting admonished by an associate for using the wrong staircase after walking 12 flights of steps to find a locked door.
January 30, 2024
Great doctor, xray technician was very friendly and patient. The doctor gave a very detailed description of my injury and even showed me on a diagram where my injury occurred and why. Love this facility and staff
January 29, 2024
He is a great doctor and I can't, there's nothing I can say more than he's really great and I would go to him anytime. Goodbye.
January 29, 2024
I'm very happy with the results of my surgery. Dr Hsiao was very informative from the very first time I saw him about my shoulder, we first tried therapy. I am glad I decided to have the replacement surgery, great experience with him and his staff. I have been telling acquaintances how awesome of a doctor he is.
January 23, 2024
Dr Andrew Hsiao was very thorough in explaining my MRi for my left shoulder he was very knowledgeable and cared about me and my questions left there feeling hopeful and calm and gave me some information on how to mange the situation very pleased

January 15, 2024
This was my 1st visit to Dr. Hsiao so after more visits I would be able to say more.
January 11, 2024
He was excellent! Her shot that he gave her did not hurt as much as when the other doctor gave it to her.
January 10, 2024
Both the Le Habra office and the Whittier office staff have been more than accommodating any time I've needed anything. And I appreciate them very much. Thank you. Dr. Hsiao is excellent. He listens. He explains everything. If you don't understand and ask, he will re-explain it to you so that you understand. I have every confidence in him. Thank you.
January 09, 2024
I like that even though my complaint was minor, he did consider my concern and he did come up with a long-term plan of care and didn't just dismiss the situation.
January 03, 2024
Takes almost a month to schedule an appointment. Too long for orthopedic needs. Your app is lacking, not user friendly. Tried to reschedule on the app and was given an appointment in June. That's unacceptable!! Had to log on 3 times before I could connect to this survey. Improvements need to be made to access services.
January 02, 2024
Dr. Hsiao was focused and carefully explained the x-rays and follow-up care.
January 02, 2024
Appointment was for 3:45 p.m. I was not seen until 4:25 p.m. That's 40 minutes of my life wasted. At 82 years of age, this I did not appreciate.
January 02, 2024
Dr Hsiao explained talked to me about why my shoulder muscles are not responding to treatment and that some recover fast and others take longer.
December 26, 2023
Completely satisfied.
December 19, 2023
Doctor was very attentive as to what I had say and explained the possible issue with my knee and requested an M.R.I.

Dr Hsiao & staff are so caring & professional it definitely aided me & encouraged me in my treatment & recovery. Thank you to all!!!
December 04, 2023
Other than his High demand I have no complaints. Andrew has treated me for multiple issues Lft Knee and Shoulder. We are seeing him to address my Rt shoulder that was operated on but not fixed. I hope this time will be a success!

Dr. Hsiao, is very knowledgeable and has been a great orthopedics for me and I've had 7 orthopods to date for my hips, arms, back etc and he did my shoulder sx and got me active in my sports life again in 2019. I'm in debt to him!
November 29, 2023
Detailed explanation given to me that very much helped me with a better understanding of the medical information that the MRI provided. I was shown on his laptop screen with explanation and possible treatment in the future.
November 28, 2023
Good visit Dr saw direct .no substitute. Thank you (PHI removed)
November 27, 2023
I just wanted to say that the doctor was amazing. He answered all of my questions, all of my concerns, put me at ease. I haven't had a doctor at PH for a while since we're usually at urgent care, so it was really nice to come across somebody who cares about his patients and who's willing to take the time to answer without seeming to be rushed. So thank you so much for your care.
