“Lovely doctor who really listens. I have suffered chronic UTIS since last year and I’m finally on the road to recovery and he was able to offer extra suggestions to what i have already implemented. I know that if I needed more intensive care he would have the confidence to implement a good regimen.”

“I’ve been dealing with recurring UTI’s for 2+ years and Dr. Hsieh actually heard me out and offered various treatment options. He even asked my option of each option rather than just telling me the we were going with x option arbitrarily. I appreciated Dr. Hsieh’s knowledge and input and felt like an actual person rather than just another appointment. ”

This joint venture is the East Coast's first clinical program dedicated to the care of adolescents and young adults with congenital urologic disorders. Many of these patients have chronic cystitis and are at increased risk of bladder cancer, diseases which dovetail with Dr. Hsieh’s research interests.

He attended Stanford University and returned to the East Coast for medical school at Thomas Jefferson University. During medical school, Dr. Hsieh also obtained a PhD in immunology and afterwards began exploring what would eventually become his long-term interest - the role of bladder inflammation in urinary tract infections and development of bladder cancer.

It was my first appointment but he listened and came up with a treatment plan I could work with. I have hope my chronic health issue will be resolved.

I have seen several doctors for my chronic UTIs. My appointment with Dr. Hsieh was the first appointment I’ve had that I felt heard, fully informed, and empowered. I would recommend him to anyone struggling with UTIs!

I can not recommend Dr. Hsieh enough. He is the first doctor to truly listen to my concerns, thoroughly explain the possible causes, and offer a breadth of treatment options and new studies. His bedside manner is fantastic and made me leave feeling hopeful.

I would recommend him. He listens and doesn’t rush you. He’s willing to look into the root cause of your issue. He did a more in depth UTI test than most urologists won’t do. He’s also didn’t judge me when I brought up supplements I use that help me.
