Dr Hsu completed his medical degree at the University of Sydney in 1996 before undertaking orthopaedic surgical training in New South Wales. He achieved Fellowship of the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons in 2007.

Following his specialist training, Dr Hsu pursued advanced subspecialty fellowships in spine surgery at prestigious institutions in the United States, where he gained extensive experience working in high-volume tertiary centres alongside internationally recognised spine specialists.

I am satisfied with Dr Brian Hsu, he is very professional, I respect him so much. I wish next time he will spent a little bit more time to further explain my details(re: pathogen, degree and treatment method...) and also give his own opinion and suggestions. , especially for non-English background old people. That's why I want to see the specialist .
