    How was your appointment with Dr. Tsai?

    Jan 23, 2016
    Dr. Tsai is incredible. He is thorough and has the best bedside manner. I'm a 28 yr old female who suffered severe stomach pains. He completed a full upper and lower endoscopy. He also that it was best to do a colonoscopy during the endoscopy, and his intuition was right. During my procedure he discovered a precancerous polyp that he was able to remove. Had he not done that colonoscopy, I could've developed colon cancer and my kids would be motherless before they reach 10 yrs old. Best Dr. ever!
