★★★★★ 5 Stars – Exceptional Surgeon, Outstanding Care, and Complete Confidence I cannot speak highly enough of Dr. Joseph Hsin and the team at Cornerstone Orthopedics. Dealing with a significant shoulder injury and facing the prospect of surgery can be an overwhelming experience. From my initial consultation, Dr. Hsin demonstrated the professionalism, expertise, and attention to detail that immediately gave me confidence in his abilities. What impressed me most was his willingness to take the time to thoroughly explain my injury, discuss the surgical approach, and answer questions without ever making the appointment feel rushed. His knowledge and straightforward communication made it clear that I was in exceptionally capable hands. Beyond his medical expertise, Dr. Hsin has a genuine, patient-centered approach that is increasingly difficult to find. He understands that successful treatment involves more than surgical skill; it requires trust, communication, and ensuring patients feel comfortable and informed throughout the process. The professionalism and coordination of the Cornerstone Orthopedics team further reflect the high standard of care Dr. Hsin provides. Choosing a surgeon is an important decision, and having complete confidence in that decision makes an enormous difference. Dr. Hsin has earned my trust and highest recommendation. An outstanding orthopedic surgeon and a true credit to his profession. Five stars, without reservation.

Important update for patients with Anthem or Cigna

HCA Healthcare is in contract negotiations with Anthem and Cigna. Some patients may have received letters stating that care at an HCA facility could become out of network beginning Dec. 1, 2026, for Anthem or Jan. 1, 2027, for Cigna if new agreements are not reached.

HCA has assured us they expect to resolve both negotiations before those dates. If you have a procedure scheduled at an HCA facility, please do not cancel it based solely on the letter. Contact your insurer to confirm your facility’s network status and benefits, and reach out to our scheduling team with questions. We are monitoring the situation and will help patients understand their options as updates become available.
