DAVID HSU 



Director of Christensen Sicat Hsu, DDS Inc.

I provide the corporate administrative support for SicatHSU Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery. I assist Dr. Hsu in making corporate-level decisions and also provide logistical and technical support for the staff.

I am an Army Veteran and met my wife Dr. Christensen Hsu when we were both on Active Duty and stationed in Okinawa, Japan. My best memory in life is watching my wife walk down the aisle on our wedding day! My proudest accomplishment is bringing my entire military unit home safely after a year-long combat tour in Iraq.

I'm a triathlete and have competed in various triathlons to include Ironman 70.3 Oceanside and the 2022 World Championship Off-Road Triathlon in Romania.    Random fact: I have a corgi who can run as fast as me! 


NADIA 



Lead Treatment Coordinator

As the Lead Treatment Coordinator, I manage the consultations and surgical appointments for patients. I assist patients with the financing of their treatment plan by maximizing their insurance benefits or applying for lines of credit through Care Credit or Alphaeon. I facilitate the pre-authorizations and pre-determinations to ensure accurate information for co-payments. I help patients understand their dental insurance benefits, and facilitate insurance reimbursements. I am a trained Medical Assistant certified in Basic Life Support. I successfully passed the Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery Assistant (OMSA) Certification, and I am certified in Advanced Cardiac Life Support. The knowledge gained over the years enable me to provide additional information about surgical procedures to help patients make informed decisions.

I grew up in Sunny San Diego. In my free time, I love eating at new restaurants and going on road trips with my family.


TOMAS 

Operations Coordinator

I coordinate the clinical and administrative operations for the practice. I also serve as a liaison for Dr. Hsu and business partners. I am certified in Basic Life Support and infection control. I am the Practice Safety Officer. I am an Artist by trade and graduated from Temple University in Japan. My artistic skills gave me the opportunity to design the official logo for SHOMS.

I grew up on Philippine Cuisine but love Italian and Japanese food. I enjoy pop culture and love expressing it through my art. When I have a free Saturday, I volunteer at the nearby ranch in Bonsall to help care for a dozen racehorses. My favorite horse at the ranch is No Foolin.

I am one of Dr. Hsu's surgical assistants and have learned a great deal about surgery in just a short amount of time. I am certified in Basic Life Support and Advanced Cardiac Life Support.

I love to cook, bake, and most importantly make my products beautiful and presentable. Having twenty-three immediate family members make FAMILY a big part of my life. I love coffee and carbonara pasta! My favorite movie is A League of Their Own.

Testimonials

Kind, through, efficient. Had 5 teeth surgically removed and have only had to use the hospital strength ibuprofen! My PCP said "They probably did a very good job with the anesthesia." I used gas, and followed instructions.

I would recommend her for children, Even young ones. She is that skilled.

"Thank you" isn't sufficient. I'm grateful.

Paris R.

Dr Hsu and her staff are awesome! Everyone was very kind, caring and helpful. They make you feel so comfortable. Dr Hsu carefully explained everything very clearly and did a superb job on my procedure. She is an excellent oral surgeon and a true professional. I had a great experience and I 100% recommend Dr Hsu and her staff to all my family, friends, and everyone else!
