Timothy Tsui, MD

Dr. Tsui made my c-​section a great experience. I know, it’s weird to say that for a surgery. My prior OB/​GYN, who no longer is at Cedars (thank goodness) was his partner, and never had availability to see me. So I made an appointment with Dr. Tsui by default, and that was the best default yet. Dr. Tsui genuinely cares about his patents and the health of their unborn children. The morning of my c-​section, he made sure that i was okay, and I was able to have my own music playlist going. He was able to pull a 9lb 3oz baby out with no problems whatsoever. There was laughter and jokes. Didn’t at all feel like an operation. Kudos to Dr. Tsui. I highly recommend him.

Dr. Tsui is a wonderfully professional OB/​GYN.
PROS: Short wait time, knowledgeable, answers emails through patient portal, responsive, delivers for his own patients (does not have on-​call doctor deliver unless he is out of town), great office staff, calls to personally give lab results.
CONS: Not particularly warm and fuzzy, visits are brief (which is why the wait times are short)– neither of these things were that important to me.
Overall, I have trusted Dr. Tsui with delivering both my children and I would highly recommend him.

We recently had our second son and both (c-​section) deliveries, along with nearly all of my appointments, were with Dr. Tsui. I would definitely recommend him and the Cedars-​Sinai team. It’s easy to schedule appointments, the staff is very friendly, and there’s rarely a wait (although wait times do get a little longer later in the afternoon… compared to about ten minutes earlier in the day). Dr. Tsui is very knowledgeable and to the point. I would prefer a doctor to be direct with my questions and I always feel like I get a straight answer with him. I also appreciate that I don’t feel rushed while I’m there. He will often sit down and talk as opposed to rushing you out the door. He was also very calming during the c-​section which I appreciated. I was nervous enough and while I was being prepped waiting for my husband to come in, it was really helpful to have someone in the room who knew me and my concerns.

I like Dr. Tsui !!! He was so professional, nice and smart. He gave me result my test on next day. I belive him and I am sure he will fix my problem. Thanks :)

Perhaps Dr Tsui was having a bad day, but this was the absolute worst experience I’ve ever had with a doctor (not to mention OBGYN). I went in for my annual exam which included getting a Pap smear, which are naturally nerve wracking. I don’t know what equipment he used but it was PAINFUL! PAINFUL! When I voiced my concerns to him, he said that I just needed to relax. He said, «this process would be more bearable if you just relaxed!» Novel idea… thank you, Dr. Tsui! Then, after the Pap smear, he kept asking me if I wanted the HSV vaccine, Gardasil. He asked me about three times over the course of the visit. Overall, two thumbs DOWN for unprofessionalism, cluelessness, and insensitivity.

You have a male gynecologist?! This is the most common responses from my friends.
My response: he has great Unilocal reviews.
Sometimes, great Unilocal reviews lead to disappointment but not the case with the great Dr. Tsui.
My first appointment years ago–
Me: You have great Unilocal reviews.
Dr. Tsui: What’s Unilocal?
I thought this was so funny.
Anyways, I digress.
Dr. Tsui is always super professional and thorough with his work which is why he is so busy with all of his clients. He personally makes calls if this is your preferred approved method of contact. Having seen him on Tuesday, he just called me on my cell within three days to follow-​up.
I’ve been to doctors where I dealt primarily with nurse practitioners. Actually, come to think of it, I never actually met the previous doctor. I have never been left with a nurse practitioner in this office, which is great.
He’s moved to the East Tower @ Cedar Sinai suite 804 (if I remember correctly) so his number and address have changed.
All in all, if you have the chance to have him as a doctor, you should.

Dr. Tsui is the best!!! He delivered both of my children. I have recommended everyone that I know who is pregnant to him and they have all loved him as well. He is very knowledgeable and listens to anything you have to say. I would 100% recommend him

Dr. Tsui is the best doctor! He is so kind, caring and smart, and an excellent doctor all around. He delivered my daughter in May 2013 and I could not be happier! Dr. Tsui was always so thorough and helpful throughout my entire pregnancy! As this was my first child, I had a ton of questions, which he always answered and never made me feel rushed. He always took the time to call me back personally after every test result, which in my book means a lot. He would return any messages in a timely manner. And with the appointments, there was rarely ever a wait time to see him which shows that his office is well organized and has respect for you time. I ended up with a c-​sec and although it was not what I planned for I had a great experience and a speedy recovery all thanks to Dr Tsui. Following the surgery Dr Tsui would come in to check on me almost everyday. What a kind, caring, professional doctor. 5 stars is not enough for him as he deserves a 10! I would only trust him to be my doctor for any future pregnancies!

Bottom Line: Dr. Tsui is awesome! Super professional without being cold — very approachable and he helped my wife through a scary time… ahhh childbirth
anyways, he coached us through the pregnancy and delivered our baby at a critical point when a natural birth wasnt an option so he performed a C section.
everything went well — he is the man!

Dr. Tsui is the best. He delivered both my older sister’s daughter in 2005, and my daughter in 2010. Dr. Tsui was incredibly thorough and helpful throughout my pregnancy, and he came to the hospital late at night to deliver my daughter, even though he wasn’t on call at the time. He is very kind, wonderful doctor.
My older sister had a complicated pregnancy that required an early induced birth followed by intensive treatment for her breast cancer. Dr. Tsui was supportive, knowledgable, and reassuring through the whole process.

He is my regular gynecologist (not OB) so my review is just for that aspect of his specialty. He is very gentle during the check up and thorough in asking questions about my reproductive health.

I love Dr. Tsui!!! I reminded of how much I appreciated being under his care as I have now relocated to Texas and finding a good enough OB/​GYN is proving difficult. He saw me through my entire pregnancy. He always took time to answer my questions and reassured me when I had doubts about things. His nurse is wonderful as well. The wait time was never more than 20 minutes and I usually got out of there pretty fast. The real reason I wanted to write this review though was because of my delivery experience. One of the best experiences of my life! Dr. Tsui came to check on my multiple times while I was laboring. It happened to be his day off but he was at the hospital all day working on things and kept checking on me. Even though the practice has multiple doctors who take turns being on call, Dr. Tsui gives you the option to let him and him only deliver your baby if it is possible. He gave me a RX during my 36 week appointment that I was instructed to give to the hospital staff once I went into labor. It had instructions to call him and let him know when I was in labor so he could be there to deliver my baby. Wow! How wonderful it was to have him in the delivery room when I had seen him my entire pregnancy and he knew my history, concerns, ect. He stayed with me after my daughter was born for at least an hour stitching me up and giving me instructions of how to take care of myself until my 6 weeks check up. He even got in a picture with us and our new baby! I can’t say enough good things about this wonderful doctor! I only wish I was still in LA to see him with newest pregnancy!

Super nice, super sweet, super smart, super fast. He is very thorough, thoughtful and helpful with everything.
I have been going to the same doc for over a decade and switched to Dr Tsui because I have new insurance and because my old doctor moved to CT. Going to Dr Tsui was as awesome as I could have hoped for and relatively painless. I was in and out of there in under an hour, there was parking on the street, and he and his staff are awesome.
Really excited that this is my new dude (medically, that is!) I plan to stay with him for the long haul.

I’ve been coming to Dr. Tsui, for a few years now. From the start he has always address any question and concerns and calls after to deliver pap results. Always dreaded visits to GYNO before but he makes you feel very comfortable. Yes, it is hard to schedule an appt with him but he is worth the wait.
Also his nurse Rosa is awesome. I’ve alway had trouble getting my blood drawn. Bruised and poked all over until she told me exactly which vein they needed to be using. Needless to say no more bruising when I donate blood or visit my general doctor.

I read the reviews before going in and was prepared to wait a long time and not actually meet with the doctor for my annual exam. To the contrary, I had a great experience with Dr. Tsui. The gynecologist is always a little uncomfortable, but he met with me before the exam to go over my medical history and ask any questions I may have. I asked him questions I’ve never felt comfortable enough to ask a doctor before and got answers to things that have bugged me for years. Not only did he personally meet with me in the office the day of the visit, he did the actual exam and I received two follow up calls from him to go over my test results and explain them to me completely. I’m so happy to have found a new doctor that I trust and am comfortable with!

Dr. Tsui is a great surgeon and when you are in his care, you can feel comfortable that you have a good doc on your hands. For my routine exams, I actually see the PA in the same office (Elinor Pullen — who is awesome, by the way). After my surgery, everything has been going VERY well, and I have another surgery scheduled with him this month (for a different matter). I feel comfortable knowing that I am in good competent hands.
I don’t necessarily rate him as «warm and fuzzy,» but he’s as good as they get in terms of knowledge and skill.

I adore Dr. Tsui. I initially chose him out of the blue as we were in our first pregnancy, and my OB/​GYN was about an hour away, so I needed someone more local. I have been so grateful for how everything worked out. We have now seen Dr. Tsui through three pregnancies. He is quiet, but very attentive, funny and compassionate. He delivered two healthy children for us, even coming in to deliver the babies in person although he was not on call. He just wanted to be there. But what sealed the deal was how he took care of us when we found abnormalities in my second pregnancy. We basically got the worst news that expecting parents can get, and Dr. Tsui was kind, compassionate, supportive and sensitive during the absolute worst time in my life.
You could not find a better Dr. to bring your baby into the world than Dr, Tsui.

I have to say I’m quite disappointed by this office in general. Dr. Tsui was my doctor of choice after reading all these great reviews. My husband and I were very excited to meet him for the first time after we found out that I was pregnant. Unfortunately the feeling was not mutual. He seemed very cold and distant in our short meeting. We felt rushed out of the office. I wish he was as sunny and friendly as he appears in this photo.
I then went on to having complications and ended up miscarrying. Never did I see him or hear from him again. I could only be seen by his nurse practitioner, Blum, who was actually the nicest person I’ve talked to in that office. The ladies who book appointments are far from friendly. Not to mention I was always on hold for at least 10 minutes before I can talk to someone. Today I waited 15 minutes before giving up. Overall, I’m very disappointed, and am now looking for another OB for my second pregnancy. Someone with more compassion and better bedside manners.

I’ve been a patient of Dr. Tsui for some years now and have had a good experience overall. He does have a busy practice but always gets back to me if I have questions. Sometimes I wait, but for the most part it is very reasonable. His nurse is great too. Overall, I couldn’t ask for much more in a doc. I’m confident in his ability and he makes me feel comfortable.
He’s capable… that’s a given. He’s really pleasant, and smiles. That goes a long way.

Dr. Tsui is AWESOME!!! (He wasn’t voted Physician of the Year for nothing)!!!
He’s a sweet, caring, conscientious OB GYN and gives 110% of his attention to you when you’re in the clinic. He totally cares about patients and is the best! I know for a fact that he will double/​triple book himself so that he can attend to his patients’ needs. He’s that dedicated!
He’s with Cedars Sinai, near the Beverly Center, and Restaurant Row. Metered parking is available until 4 PM or there is an underground lot for $ 1.50÷15 minutes, max of $ 15.
I know some of you may not feel comfortable seeing a male OB-​Gyn but Dr. Tsui is really cool. There are no hang-​ups. or cattiness (as I’ve experienced with female providers).
Believe me — I’m Elite! :o)
