    Dr Tsai is literally the nicest and most caring dotor I have even encountered. She remembers the tiniest items from years ago regarding personal questions she may have talked to you about - such as did you get your Christmas shopping don? Yes I do mine all in one day Or how was your day? Well our computers crashed today 6 years later she is saying something about it. She may have little notes In our file or a great memory but it just proves that she cares about the little things that make people feel special. Besides that she explains everything so well and is a cheerleader not bringing you down with your problems like some doctors (yes doctor I am aware I am fat and need to lose weight but is it pink eye? type of doctor). She is my favorite of all time and I had a few great ones. I look forward to our visit even though she is literally the hardest doctor to get into.
