Dr. F. Ida Hsu is an allergist and immunologist who treats a broad range of conditions, including asthma, food allergies, drug hypersensitivity, and chronic hives. Drawing on her own experience with allergies, she approaches each case with a detective’s mindset—searching for answers and offering practical, empathetic care.
