Comments from Patients and Their Family
“I feel very satisfied. When I have high blood sugars, Dr. Hsu tells the dietitian Sophia and she relays the information to me. They repeat information to me in different ways to teach me. It’s like going to school-good education. I don’t always do what I’m told, but I try. They are patient with me. Sometimes I’m not sure if I can do what I’m told once I get home, but that’s a separate issue. I appreciate the advice, care, and education. I am very grateful for the care here and I really appreciate being asked for my opinion. I feel cared for. I thank Tracy for the reminders and follow up calls.”

“I have not felt this good for a long time. Dr. Hsu and Sophia have been very great
as well. I got a cold and sent an email about cold medicine and they responded to me right away. They have so many patients but I was very grateful about their quick response. I am just so happy that I got the referral to Joslin. I think I am relatively doing well with making a little changes and not overwhelming myself. Right now I am taking my time, but soon will be ready to work on more specific meal plans and exercise plans.”

“I visit Joslin for assessment and prevention. My mother is a patient for management. My mother and myself love Dr. Hsu, Sophia, and Tracy. Tracy is easily accessible by email and gives me prompt responses. The care and service is great. Dr. Hsu is very kind and works with us showing an understanding of my mother’s concerns. He listens to her patiently.”
