Hsu Dora D, DDS

I stubbornly rejected to face the fact I was WAY overdue for a dental appointment over years. Because of that, I had so many cavities, and I was afraid of all the cost I’d have to pay if I were to treat them.
Dr. Hsu gave me a complete list of treatment I needed, along with exact numbers of how much she’ll charge, how much the insurance covers, and how much I’ll owe. Always super clear, no bullshit. My insurance company was Aetna and I never had to file or claim anything. Everything was taken care by her office.
She accommodates for your schedule, too. It made so much easier for me.
Some parking in the back, and street parking isn’t bad.

Dr. Hsu is great! I have been going to her for years! There are many reasons why I like her. (1) She does the teeth cleaning herself. I’ve found that some dentist offices who are trying to services as many clients as possible have their assistants do the teeth cleaning. Dr. Hsu does the teeth cleaning herself. (2) She doesn’t over book patients so you’re not sitting around waiting forever for your appointment. (3) She is very accommodating with scheduling. (4) She is a good person. She doesn’t try to sell you services that you don’t need. And if she has any recommendations regarding your insurance plan, she will tell you. Example: I wanted to get a deep cleaning at the end of last year. She said I didn’t necessarily need but I could get one and suggested that if I did do a deep cleaning it would be better to do at the beginning of this year because of my deductible. (5) She does a good job. I highly recommend Dr. Hsu!

I’ve been going to Dr. Hsu for the last few years and not only is she extremely experienced and efficient (and she’s got a huge list of credentials including being a faculty member of Clinical Dentistry in USC), she’s also very accommodating with schedules. For instance, her office is normally closed on Sundays, but she kept her doors open for me earlier today because I had a problem that needed to be taken care of right away.
My wife’s also a patient here now, and I’m sure once we have kids they’ll be showing up here too.

I believe I was Dr Hsu’s very first patient when she started her practice in this area 15 years ago in 1999. She took care of my teeth real well. Her work is thorough, professional and relatively low pain compared to the dentists I had before. Her charges are reasonable and comparable to other dentists for similar work. I also found her ethical towards her patients and their insurance company. She would also recommend another specialist when the dental work is beyond her capability and specialty. I had recently moved to Las Vegas, but I still come back to her for periodic cleaning and deep cleanings.

This review is for those who have dental-​phobia, like me! To me, root canal was a big word. 2 things came across my mind, PAIN and MONEY! Last month, I found Dora here. She said that I needed a root canal. That freaked me out, and my mind started to flash out «$$$$$» and the pain. I was glad that Dora helped me to resolve the financial issue. Problem 1 solved! During the root canal, I was prepped out. Surprisingly, the pain was tolerable. I would say pain from 1 to 5… pain 1. As the matter of fact, I strongly recommend her to everyone.
