Dr. Yih-Ming Hsiao Obituary
Born in 1940 in Changhua County, Taiwan, Dr. Hsiao immigrated to the United States in 1976, carrying with him hopes of building a better life for his young family. Under the guidance and mentorship of Dr. Collard, he established his family practice in Belchertown, Massachusetts, where he dedicated over 30 years of his life to caring for the community he came to love as his own.
As Belchertown's cherished general practitioner, Dr. Hsiao embodied the true spirit of healing with his extraordinary grace, profound humility, and infinite patience. His compassionate heart guided multiple generations of families throughout Hampshire County, touching countless lives with his unwavering dedication.
Dr. Hsiao is survived by his devoted wife, Mrs. Yuh-Fang Hsiao; his daughters Amy and Lisa Hsiao; his son-in-law George Su; and four cherished grandchildren: Isla Johnson, Ethan, Garrett, and Tahlia Su.
In keeping with his humble nature, Dr. Hsiao requested a simple remembrance, with no flowers or cards. The family would be deeply honored if those who knew him share their memories, as these stories are the greatest tribute to a life so beautifully lived in service to others.

Sending condolences to the Hsiao family on such a tremendous loss. We are heartbroken, and I´m sure all of Belchertown will be saddened by the loss of Dr. Hsiao. He was truly a healer who took the time with each and every patient to successfully diagnose every ailment. When he began his practice in Btown, my children Brooke and Jason, my husband and I were fortunate to become his patients. His mind was magical and I was amazed at the way he could remember every detail of his patients´ names and histories without looking at his notes. Every once in awhile, we´d see that twinkle in his eye and he´d laugh when the children caught him off guard with a comment. I will miss him but will cherish the times spent in his presence. Sending love and strength to his family. Sincerely, Nancy Fraga

He has been missed since leaving Btown but his retirement was well-earned!he was easy with which to chat and joke.A rare professional.
