Dr. Hsu treats children with seizures and other brain or nerve disorders.He enjoys working with children and their families. Dr. Hsu finds a range of possible treatment options and helps each family choose the best option for their child.

His work includes understanding why shunts used to treat hydrocephalus (buildup of fluid in the brain) often fail.
