Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr Hsu Pochien is very patient and he has excellent doctor ethics

During every visit there was a rush, and he neither foresaw nor provided any intervention for my complication.

I’m mother to the parent of a woman who consulted with the doctor prior to pregnancy and then selected him due to expertise in high risk, twice. We are all so pleased. As an MD myself, I can judge his expertise is top level. We’ve have conferred and I always learn something from him..

I have been a patient of Dr. Hsu's for many years. He has a pleasant bedside manner, and is easy to talk to about your concerns/issues. Dr. Hsu was a strong ally and great resource for me throughout my high-risk pregnancy and delivery. I would definitely recommend him to anyone seeking a new OB/GYN.

Dr. Hsu is by far the greatest OBGYN. I started my pregnancy with another group and had a horrible experience. I was then referred to Dr. Hsu by a coworker and Im SO glad. He made my husband and I so at ease our whole pregnancy. He answered any and all questions we had, would personally do our ultrasounds each visit, and genuinely made us feel like family. The receptionist and medical assistant are amazing as well. I couldn’t recommend Dr Hsu and his practice more!

Dr. Hsu was the only doctor to take me at 7 months pregnant with twins when we relocated to New Jersey. I had an amazing experience at every visit and very smooth vaginal delivery with him! One of the best doctors that I’ve had and trusted my deliveries with!

Bad Management due to low EQ of the business owner is all Pro: Doctor is polite, the nurse is excellent. Con: the RECEPTIONIST is a miserable lady who make things as easy as making appointment to getting paperwork to the most DIFFCULT task on Earth. Dr. Hsu seems nice, but he doesn't communicate but when he made a medical / operational mistake (made 3 stitches in a Missed Abortion operation, where it's very rare to happen) , he tried to cover it up by saying its normal when it is NOT.

We have our first baby with Dr. Hsu. He is professional, knowledgeable and responsible. Fast response to all your questions and the entire team - the doctor, staffs and nurse are very courteous. Our first baby took a long time to deliver and he was with us till the end. Now, I have the second baby, and I choose him as our OBGYN again. I am glad that I meet him and appreciate him to take good care to my wife, and both babies. I would definitely recommend him to others !

Dr. Hsu delivered our baby last month. He came into the delivery room threatening to walk out on us when we were 20 hours into labor because he didn't agree with us not being induced because it was scheduled, yet we were in active labor (why induce a woman who is in active labor?). He also pushed us to give our baby formula, even telling us a story about how a baby died from not getting enough from breastfeeding. He told us this without seeing how healthy our baby was from breastfeeding!

My experience with the Doctor is amazing and I am fully pleased being under his care. However his receptionist Joanie is a nightmare. For a prescription I waited 4 days for her to even mention there was a change. I am appalled at how I was treated by her. Rude, and full of attitude!
