I am very happy about the care I received from Dr Nguyen. I was referred to dermatology by my oncologist to have Dr Nguyen look at two suspicious skin spots. After his initial look at the two spots, Dr Nguyen did a full body exam and noted a third spot that he felt should also be biopsied. In addition to being very thorough, he also explained things throughout the exam and biopsy procedure very clearly. I would also like to acknowledge the lab for providing their findings so quickly.

Disclosures

Cuong V. Nguyen, MD reported no external professional relationships for calendar year 2021.

External Professional Relationships

Pharmaceutical, device, and biotechnology companies frequently collaborate with basic scientists and physicians within an academic medical center to help advance science and improve patient care. These relationships are important in achieving scientific breakthroughs and in establishing the effectiveness and safety of promising new therapies. In order to assure objectivity in clinical research and patient care, the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine (Feinberg), Northwestern Memorial HealthCare, Children's Hospital of Chicago Medical Center, and the Shirley Ryan AbilityLab have adopted integrity policies that require research and clinical faculty (in full-time, part-time, and unpaid/voluntary categories) to report compensated and uncompensated external industry relationships. Patients are encouraged to discuss these disclosures with their physician as well as to inquire as to how these relationships are overseen by Feinberg. To learn more about our Disclosure and Professional Integrity Policy, and the conflict of interest policies of our joint affiliate survey partners, please go to our Office for Regulatory Affairs Policies page.
