Hsieh Jennifer, MD

I have been seeing Dr. Hsieh for about 6 years, and I am really surprised by some of the reviews on this site. I always come in with lots of questions, and she always answers all of the questions and helps me formulate a strategy for my self care before she leaves. She really knows a lot about insulin pumps (not all endocrinologists do!). She always takes as much time with me as I need.
BTW, I have seen Dr. Hsieh at least 10 times, and I have never been foisted off on a PA. In fact I have never seen a PA in her office.
Great Doctor. Has both the knowledge and the caring to make a difference.

Update on this Doctor:
I had my last 3 blood work faxed to their office. However when I called back to make an appt. the receptionist said my test didn’t show any thyroid problems. I told her I heard there were other ways to detect thyroid issues and it does run in my family. She said ‘no the 2 test done is the only one the doctor uses.’ I then said, ‘well I was concerned that other hormonal problems may exists and making me feel this way.’ She said to go back to my other doctor and have her give me a ‘hormone panel test’ because This doctor does not do any testing. What? She just let’s someone else do the work then writes a script out for you?
I have never heard of a so-​called Specialist have a regular GP try to figure out if you have something wrong for sure before the Specials sees you.
Why would my GP suggest I see an Endocrinologist if she had to do all the testing first. This person can’t be for real. What a tarnish to her name and so-​called specialty.

I talked to the P.A. (?) /​Nurse (?) before the visit with the Dr. She was very nice and a good listener. The Dr. breezed in, told me she knew my former endocrinologist and said how good he was. Then she reluctantly listened to me (I had to say well what about this? to stop her from running out). I got one phone call to tell me the tests were fine (no copy of the results) and was told to come back in a year. Pretty minimal care for a new patient. I’m back to trying to find another Dr. who will give me more than 5 mins. and try to really help with my symptoms.

I was referred to Dr. Hsieh by my primary physician. It was reasonably easy to make an appointment. The office is dingy and not what I would expect in a first-​world country. Kind of like something you would expect if you went to a doctor in a second-​world country. I know it is the LBC, but please. In my experience, Dr. Hsieh does not actually see patients. I was seen both times I was there by the physician assistant. I have no idea if Dr. Hsieh actually reviewed my chart or was in the office. Usually, a physician will follow-​up after a patient is seen by the assistant… not Dr. Hsieh.
The office staff… WTF? I can’t believe they have jobs.

I waited two months to get an appointment and my visit felt rushed. Dr. Hsieh seems really confident so you wouldn’t question her especially with her teaching background right? If i new as much as she did i wouldn’t worry about my health either. I’m a patient not a physician so i don’t understand how i can leave feeling like I should know as much as she did. I’ll be back in six weeks hope she takes her time. Disappointed with the customer service not her knowledge

I just spoke with the rudest secretary I have ever spoken with. I have Blue Shield PPO and wanted to make an appt. She informed me that I had to send blood work from my physician first, which I told her I would rather not do because it was out of date. She would not ALLOW me to make an appointment and when I said I guess I’ll have to find another endocrinologist, she HUNG up on me!
Since when does some loser desk jockey call the shots? So long Dr. Hsieh!

I have been a patient of Dr. Hsieh’s for about 7 years now and think that she is WONDERFUL! She takes the time needed for a quality appt. and is happy to answer any questions. I do not feel that I am just a number at her office. She makes me feel like I matter and that’s what ALL Dr.‘s should do, but as we all know, they do not. I have nothing but high praise for Dr. Hsieh! I feel very lucky to have her as my Dr.
