Dr. Nguyen has been terrific. Easy to understand, thorough and compassionate
Dr Nguyen is excellent! He explains everything before he does it, and while he's doing it. That puts me at ease, and makes the procedure "less" painful! He's an asset to the university and the medical center.

We discussed location of the injection and that it would hopefully relieve some of the pain until surgery.
Always good
Dr. Nyugen set up a plan to deal with my pain. He listened to my concerns about my pain and he set up a plan to try alternatives to surgery, which I totally agree with.
He's so kind and gentle!!! I usually don't feel comfortable with male physicians, but Dr. Nguyen is amazing! I'm so glad I stayed with him.
Very good communication throughout the procedure, making me feel very comfortable.
