National Jewish Health Patient– December, 2020 This was my first time seeing Dr Tsai, and I'm glad to have seen her.

National Jewish Health Patient– November, 2020 *Dr. Tsai was outstanding at her knowledge & care for what I needed. National Jewish Health Patient– October, 2020 *Dr. Tsai was excellent! Very friendly & engaging. Knows her stuff. National Jewish Health Patient– September, 2020 I appreciate that she continues to seek/discuss options/alternatives to treat my condition. I also appreciate her/NJH staff for being advocates for me at it relates to insurance and RX approval/appeals... it's made all the difference in my care and ability to live as normal of a life as possible. Even though it lengthens the appointment time, I value that she is teaching residents/I have the chance to share my rare disorder directly, and more people/physicians are becoming aware/educated on the disorder. I would like to see more communication/cooperation between my physician outside of NJH. National Jewish Health Patient– September, 2020 She was excellent in every way!
