Dr. Nguyen exhibits a remarkable level of intelligence and understanding, always taking the time to listen to my concerns with genuine interest. Our discussions about health issues are thorough and thoughtful. I've appreciated his attentiveness in our conversations and how he actively engages with my health journey. For instance, he showed me practical ways to save money on prescriptions, which has been incredibly beneficial. As someone who has dealt with cancer, and at times I feel very vulnerable, his caring approach and expert insight truly make a difference in managing my health.

I have been seeing Dr. Nguyen since shortly after being diagnosed with melanoma. Dr. Nguyen is always tuned into the specifics of my case and he shows a genuine interest in making sure my care is first rate.

I've been recommending Dr. Nguyen to our family. Since he's been seeing my daughter for the last several years he's been right there with a vested interest in her care from a dermatologist perspective. He's empathetic, understanding and most importantly listens to my daughter and her questions and concerns. Dr. Nguyen is an amazing dermatologist and because of his expertise my daughter's condition is much better.
