June 12, 2018Dr. Hsu has my highest recommendation.
May 2, 2018In my experience *Dr. Hsu is my top pick among surgeons. Likeable yet my #1 choice!
April 24, 2018I HAVE VERY PLEASED WITH WAKE FOREST SPINE CENTER, I WAS VERY IMPRESSED WITH THE SERVICE I HAVE RECEIVED FROM THE RECEPTIONISTS, NURSES AND DOC. WESLEY HSU
March 10, 2018the entire apt with the doctor felt rushed we got no definitive answer. he seemed like he could care less about my problems and concerns. I have been to many doctors and never had a experience like this. you would not expect this from a hospital like wake. nurses and reception were awesome but provider was terrible. I'm still in pain so back to the VA
February 19, 2018I wish that the care giver had given more specific instructions about weaning myself off the neck brace I had to wear.
January 27, 2018*Dr. Hsu made a very good impression on me.
December 22, 2017my experiment with Dr Hsu and his np Tabetha has always been good.
December 20, 2017I have always had good and knowledgeable experiences with *Dr. Hsu.
December 18, 2017This office and Dr. Hsu do a great job. friendly, on time, on top of my problem and explains things so I can understand better.
