Dr. Vicky Hsieh was born in Taiwan.  Because of her parents’ strong belief in the importance of education, she moved here for her high school education. Thus, she is able to speak fluent Chinese and Taiwanese. After graduating with a Bachelor of Science in Biology from the University of California, San Diego, she went to the State University of New York, College of Optometry for her Optometry degree.

 

She was trained at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center and the Newington VA Hospital for her externship rotations.  She has advanced her skills in performing procedures, such as the latest ocular technologies (fundus photos, Humphrey Visual Field, pachmetry, etc), and specialty contact lens fittings.  She was also trained to provide pre and post-operative care for cataract surgeries and refractive surgeries, and diagnosis/treatment for ocular diseases.  Due to SUNY’s strong pediatric/vision therapy program, she enjoys giving pediatric eye exams as well.

 

During her free time, she likes to travel and spends time with her husband, her daughter, and her dog Firebat.
