Growing up, Dr. Straw always participated in sports and, as a result, had his share of sports-related injuries. He underwent physical therapy and treatment frequently, which sparked his interest in the human body and how it functions. This inspired him to pursue a career in health care. He originally attended college for physical therapy, but decided to switch paths and attend dental school with his best friend.
While in dental school, Dr. Straw became interested in oral surgery. To Dr. Straw, oral surgery is the perfect combination of art, dentistry, and anatomy and his interest in taking things apart and putting them back together.
Dr. Straw finds it rewarding to alleviate a patients fear and restore their confidence. He wants patients to feel comfortable and takes the time needed to make sure they dont feel afraid or worried about treatment. Dr. Straw loves the art of oral surgery, and his special interests lie within orthognathic surgery and the challenge of complex procedures. As an oral surgeon who has undergone lower jaw surgery himself, he can relate to orthognathic surgery patients. As a patient, you can expect to be educated and feel prepared throughout treatment and rely on open communication from Dr. Straw and his staff.
Dr. Straw earned a bachelor's degree in exercise physiology from Brigham Young University, where he played football and received the Western Athletic Academic Award for outstanding academic and athletic performance. He attended dental school at Virginia Commonwealth University School of Dentistry and graduated magna cum laude.
For his 4-year oral surgery residency, Dr. Straw gained hands-on surgical experience at Loma Linda University Medical Center and affiliated hospitals. During this time, he was trained on how to safely administer anesthesia and sedation. He has participated in Mission of Mercy projects and cleft lip and palate reconstruction at the Craniofacial Specialty Clinic at Loma Linda University in San Bernardino, California.
Dr. Straw loves spending time with his wife and eight children. He enjoys DIY and home improvement projects and admires the process of creationtaking something and making it better, both surgically and in other areas of life. Dr. Straw is also fluent in Spanish.
Dr. Hsu is from Pampanga, Philippines and grew up in Southern California after she immigrated to the United States at the age of 4. She pursued oral surgery because it emphasizes the clinical management of the patient as a whole while providing curative and life-changing outcomes. As an oral surgeon, Dr. Hsu is able to integrate the disciplines of medicine, dentistry, and surgery, and provide the highest standard of care.
When searching for a practice to join, she wanted a positive work environment that utilizes state-of-the-art technology. She is eager to be a part of True Oral, Facial & Dental Implant Surgery where she can contribute to a welcoming atmosphere and optimal clinical outcomes. Dr. Hsu finds it most rewarding to make a positive impact in someones health and their life overall.
Dr. Hsu understands the nervousness that surgery can sometimes cause. She helps patients overcome these feelings by acknowledging their concerns, carefully listening to their needs, and providing them with all of the information they need to understand their condition and make informed decisions. Often, she shares her personal experiences as a patient to empathize with others and show they are not alone. Dr. Hsu reassures every patient that she is dedicated to their safety and providing a positive oral surgery experience.
Dr. Hsu earned a BS in kinesiology from the University of California Los Angeles in 1991. She earned her DDS from the NYU College of Dentistry in 1997 and completed her oral and maxillofacial surgery residency at Tripler Army Medical Center in 2010. Dr. Hsu continued her education and earned a Masters in Strategic Studies (MSS) from the US Army War College in 2019.
Dr. Hsu loves exploring new places, going to the local farmers market, and watching live musicals with her family. Three fun facts about her are that she was deployed on the USNS Mercy (Naval Hospital Ship) throughout Asia and the South Pacific in 2015, she was selected as the 2019 UCLA Filipino Alumnus of the Year, and she is both an Army and Navy veteran.

Our son had a terrific experience with Dr. Jones removing his wisdom teeth for us! I barely got comfortable in their office and my husband just returned with the prescriptions, when she came to tell us he was done and doing great!! The office was able to schedule him at a convenient time/day for us and the cost was extremely reasonable. After the procedure, our son was so relieved that it went better than he expected!! We went home with everything we needed to help him heal. The office gave us supplies and detailed instructions for his care. We are so glad Dr. Jones was amazing and our son had such a good experience! Thank you OC Oral Surgeons!!!

This doctor is awesome, and everyone on his team is excellent! We had a great experience extracting for wisdom teeth, two of which were partially impacted, all of which was done only with local anesthetic (I'm not a fan of general anesthesia, personally). We met with other oral surgeons before having this done, and have dental practitioners over the last year. I definitely recommend Dr Jason Straw!

I was apprehensive in the beginning for many reasons. When I talked to Dr. Straw he made me feel more comfortable because he could relate to what I was about to go through since he previously had jaw surgery years ago. This made a world of difference for me. Everyone a part of their staff is friendly and kind and made sure that as a patient I had all the information and tools to make my recovery an easy one. I highly recommend Dr. Straw and Orange County Oral Surgeons and Dental Implants.

Outstanding, kind and compassionate Oral Surgeon. Within an hour of entering OC Oral Surgeons office he performed emergency oral surgery for me while our regular dentist was on vacation. He followed my recovery for several weeks, with the same kindness. His office staff also reflected this same kindness and greeted us with a smile and hello each time we entered the office, as if we were long time friends. I highly recommend Dr.Straw!
