Dr. Hsin's Reviews

Kim B
Dr Hsin is amazing! He is personable and caring. He thoroughly examined my son who was injured playing football and what impressed me most was he requested video footage of the incident prior to the examination. He is without a doubt one of the best doctors I have ever encountered. I highly recommend Dr. Hsin for his knowledge, expertise and care with his patients.
Debra H.
Dr Hsin, and all of those at Cornerstone Orthopedics, are excellent providers. Dr Hsin did my knee surgery in 2016. I’m returning to Cornerstone once again for shoulder surgery. I trust Dr Hsin and Cornerstone to take good care of me.
Haleigh S.
I have nothing but good things to say about Dr. Hsin and his PA Briana. I tore my ACL skiing and was able to get a consultation within two days, an MRI two days later, and surgery within 2 weeks of the injury. Surgery went very smoothly and I felt very cared for by both Dr. Hsin and Briana during the day of the procedure and post-operatively. Briana has helped get my insurance to approve more PT sessions and I truly couldn't have asked for a better experience. I'd recommend both Dr. Hsin and Briana to everyone! I thank you both and sincerely appreciate all that you do. :)
Faith P.

I was run over by a truck in Italy in May. Upon arrival back home in Denver, Dr. Hsin and his staff have been top notch!! I just completed the first of many surgeries to repair both knees and right ankle. The care and support from everyone I have encountered has been amazing! If you need any orthopedic care, I highly recommend Dr. Hsin at Cornerstone Orthopedics!! Simply the best!

The electricity was off so my procedure was postponed for 3 hours. Then the new nurse blew out my vein and gave me huge hematoma. However, all the staff was kind, informative and excelled in every other way.

I’ve seen Dr. Hsin for a couple different issues and he is always very kind and listens so well. He wants to know how you feel, and he doesn’t cut you off in the middle of explaining your symptoms/pain. He is a wonderful doctor! Recently saw him for a shoulder issue I’ve been dealing with for a few years and today I am pain free! He was clear on what to expect with the frequency of treatments and options further down the road.

Amazing service!! Everyone has an excellent attitude and has the patients best interest first
Scott
Dr Hsin did a great job of explaining my torn meniscus by waking me through the MIR showing me exactly what was happening. He then explained what to expect from the surgery (scheduled within two weeks) and the normal recovery.
I’ve been very pleased.

Post surgery update. Dr Hsin and the team are still hitting 5 stars! During my one week post operation appointment he showed me exactly what he did for the meniscus repair and explain how he found and treated arthritis that was worse than the MRI showed. The pain and aching I experienced the past four months is gone and now I’m booked for PT.
P R.

It was great working with Dr. Hsin!

Pam E.
I have arthritis in my right knee. Had to cancel a few appointments and the day I went in to get my cortisone shot, my knee was feeling not to bad. He explained that I would have good and bad days with my arthritis and to come back when i had more bad then good days. We decided to not do the injection and he didn't charge me for my appointment! That is a man with high integrity! He said he didn't do anything so didn't charge me. Even though he did take the time to talk to me. I was extremely impressed and felt so blessed. Times are getting harder for everyone and I really appreciated what he did.
