While completing her doctorate, she studied the effects of a mutation found in patients with Alexander disease, a rare neurological disorder.

    Dr. Hsiao is an excellent doctor who is very professional knowledgeable and cares about her patients. She is experienced but we only have time to address my tests since doctors are on limited time. It never use to be like this and your doctors were concerned about treating the whole body so if they notiiced something they would refer a patient to the specific specialist.
