Born in Taiwan, Dr. Angela Hsu immigrated to the United States at the age of ten and spent her formative years growing up in Houston, Texas. She earned her Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry with highest honors from The University of Texas at Austin. Driven by a deep passion for the sciences, she then attended The Rockefeller University, where she successfully attained a Ph.D. in Structural Microbiology. While she found her time working as a research scientist to be intellectually rewarding, her profound desire to connect with people and directly improve the well-being of others inspired her to transition her career into the field of dentistry.
Bringing her strong academic foundation to the clinical realm, she earned her Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from the University of California, Los Angeles School of Dentistry, where she was distinguished as both a Regent’s Scholar and a Dean’s Scholar. Following her graduation, she relocated to the San Francisco Bay Area and has been passionately practicing within her local community ever since.
At the absolute core of her clinical philosophy is the unwavering belief that preventive care and thorough patient education serve as the fundamental gateways to lifelong oral health. Dr. Angela Hsu ensures that the individual needs, comfort, and personal concerns of every patient always remain her highest priority, empowering them to make informed, confident decisions about their own smiles and overall wellness.
To provide the most advanced treatments available, she continually updates her skills and clinical knowledge through rigorous continuing education courses. She is an active member of the Santa Clara County Dental Society, the American Dental Association, and the California Dental Association.
Outside the operatory, she enjoys exploring the outdoors with her husband and two sons. She is fluent in both English and Mandarin Chinese, allowing her to comfortably communicate with a diverse range of patients.
