Hi, I am a graduate from the VCME FM residency program and joined core faculty shortly after my graduation, I am involved in in-patient, out-patient rotations as well as curricular design and a variety of additional activities. Teaching and training residents and watching their growth over time is tremendously fulfilling for me and that is the reason that despite a long commute, I plan on staying with the program.

I am a Bay Area native.  I came to Modesto for my residency at Valley Family Medicine in 2011.  I decided to stay in the area and join the faculty to continue caring for our under-served patients.  I enjoy group care, mentoring and advising residents.  I also helped start our Rainbow Clinic and enjoy providing care to the LGBT+ community. I love all things Disney and Marvel.

I grew up in the Bay Area, went to medical school in Arizona, and eventually ended up in Modesto for continuation of my training as a physician. I was fortunate enough to work alongside excellent residents and faculty. Based on my positive experience, I decided to stay after graduating in 2017 as an attending. Outside of work, I enjoy exercising, listening to music, doing outdoor activities (like hiking), watching sitcoms/movies, and spending time with family/friends.

Hi, I'm Dr. Benjamin Hsieh. As a family medicine faculty member, I love making complex topics feel relatable and down-to-earth for my residents. I always try to keep things approachable, and I’m not shy about sharing my love for cats to bring a bit of fun into our learning environment. My goal is to create a space where residents feel welcome and supported, both in medicine and in a few lighthearted moments along the way
