    Professional, but a bit distant. Admittedly, I've been spoiled by my other doctors. My lasy visit with her was a BIG improvement, I must say - she seems to be making an effort, but I still feel a bit like a German Shepherd being put through its paces. This might be a factor of her workload - but that remains invisible to me.

    Not many helpful succestions,but that was partly my fault.I didn't remember what other doctors I've gone to had recommended. (I'd relied on my family to take notes) Dr. Hsiao did make a good recommendation that I get a notebook to keep notes in on my doctor appointments, and I have done that now. Short visit.

    Great Doctor takes time to listens, never in a rush concerned with all of my symptoms and solutions what I should do.

    Dr. Hsiao seemed 100% absorbed with entering data into the system, and little interested in the actual content of my replies. For example, I twice told her that several symptoms occurred only after what felt like minor seizures, and after she typed this in, she replied that they sounded more like regular dementia. Then she asked me if I had had syphilis, ignoring the cause and effect relationship I had reported. I'm pretty sure this was what the AI told her to ask, but it made no sense.

    The first appointment was very rushed and uncomfortable. The second appointment was more focused, and time was allowed for my input. After viewing the portal I could see that Dr Hsiao had ordered several tests, results and a letter of explanation provided which assisted in further understanding the plan.There are many questions left at the end of an appointment.
