Children's Title: Brachial Plexus Program Director

Academic Title: Assistant Professor

"It’s funny how life and dreams can take you places. After training as a plastic surgeon, then a hand surgeon, and then a cleft surgeon, life has brought me to Seattle Children’s. Treating the most important people in the world (kids) with irregularities that were there from day one or sometime not too long afterwards is highly rewarding. Whether the focus is on a child with a cleft, an ear anomaly, a birth paralysis, or a congenital hand difference, the approach is the same – to partner with the family and provide the best possible care. I’ve had many mentors throughout my career and I continue to learn and grow everyday but now it’s mostly the kids and their families that I learn from. I continue to strive for the unattainable because I know that my work is making an impact now and will last a lifetime."

This team was a Godsend to my grand daughter, Kayla. She was born with severe Brachial Plexus injury to her left arm. Dr. Tse completed two nerve transfers for Kayla at 6 months of age. We have spent many hours with this wonder doctor and his team of therapists (Heidi & Sarah) and hospital staff. What an amazing place. You would never find a doctor or therapists more loving and caring then these. They have the children totally at heart. Thank you so much for what you do! You all will never know what you have meant to Kayla and our family. God bles you all.

Having a child born with a physical deformity is a scary and challenging thing. Choosing the person who will affect your child's face and life forever is a huge decision, and I'm glad that I found Dr. Tse when I needed to. He is incredibly compassionate, very knowledgeable and competent and did an amazing job repairing my son's cleft lip and palate. He had joined the SCH team right when my son was getting ready for his first surgery, so he was one of Dr. Tse's first patients at SCH. I am still in awe at the wonderful gift he gave my child, and would be proud to recommend him to yours if you're facing that difficult choice. The whole team at SCH was great, and it's kind and awesome doctors like this one that are part of it.
