Dr. Hsiao was born in Taiwan and spent part of his childhood in Monrovia, Liberia, before moving to Southern California. After majoring in Political Science at UC Berkeley, he earned an MPH with an emphasis on dental health, a Juris Doctorate with a healthcare focus, and then attended dental school at UCSF, followed by general practice residency at Community Medical Centers and the VA in Fresno. Dr. Hsiao will soon be faculty at UCSF, where he has already received two research fellowships. His research topics have included dentin remineralization and oral health needs assessments of individuals with developmental disabilities. As part of the American Dental Association’s Institute of Diversity in Leadership program, Dr. Hsiao developed a project called “Good Oral Hygiene: even a 5-8 year old can do it!”, which can be viewed on YouTube. He is currently President-Elect of the Fresno Madera Dental Society, and was recently appointed to the Judicial Council of the California Dental Association. Three times a week Dr. Hsiao visits elementary schools within a 100-mile radius around Fresno, treating Medi-Cal eligible children. During the summer he sees pediatric patients from preschools, as well as adults in housing managed by the Fresno Housing Authority. He has also been involved with dental humanitarian trips to Mexico.
