I wanted to give this feedback after my surgery 2 years ago and don't believe I ever did. I am so impressed with Dr. Tsai and her team. She is always willing to listen and to help find a solution to my issues(s). During my surgery, she held my hand as the team prepped me. I've NEVER had a doctor do that. Generally they aren't even in the room when the team is prepping. Then when I came to from the surgery, one of her staff was handing my hand while they were unhooking me from all the equipment, etc. That level of care and concern touched my heart. Thank you!!!!
