Our Doctors

​​​​​Dr. Vanessa Hsu was born in Vietnam, but at the age of three, she and her family fled to Malaysia because of the war, and ultimately went to Sweden. There she lived for nine years, and at the age of 12, her family moved to the United States for better opportunities.

Dr. Hsu knew from an early age that she wanted to join the healthcare field because she wanted to take care of people, especially her parents.

While attending UCLA, Dr. Hsu spent time studying and working in the fields of Pharmacy, Dentistry, Ophthalmology, and Optometry. As it turned out, Optometry was the specialty that really spoke to her.

Dr. Hsu graduated from Optometry school in 2002 and started Private Eyes Optometry in 2005, with the resolve to provide the best in eye care.

Outside the office, Dr. Hsu enjoys traveling and exploring new cultures and cuisines. Her favorite countries to visit are Japan, Spain, and Sweden. At home, Dr. Hsu is an avid tennis player, but she also enjoys pickleball, basketball, and kung fu.
