Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

she was very attentive to patients and accomodating. excellent doctor and very kind person . the office is brand new and pleasant

Rude and dismissive
She came highly recommended, but going to her felt like I'd heard all the recommendations on opposite day. Every concern I brought up, she was dismissive, and clearly just wanted to push me out the door.

Rushed, incomplete yearly exam
Dr. Nguyen did not check my entire body for my yearly body exam. She neglected certain important parts and rushed through while talking to me, questioning me how I found my daughter after she passed from an overdose. No compassion, not an 'I'm sorry for your loss'. This conversation had me so agitated and discomposed but that's not why I'm writing this review. She also pointed to something on my back as a possible concern. I told her it was a scar. I will need to make an appt with a different Dr. as I don't feel comfortable she assessed me thoroughly. I must also add, this dr. saw my husband for an extremely itchy rash. She biopsied and had him come back in two weeks! Diagnosis.....she has no idea what it is.

Eh
Not a very through skin exam barely looked and I am fair with a lot of freckles. Not a warm personality and exam was too fast to be thorough. I will keep looking. The office was nice and clean and receptionist was friendly.

Awesome
Dr Nguyen is terrific. I have used her several times and on my last visit she completely fixed my eyes using PRF and fillers. She really takes the time to listen and figure out options that are best for your situation. She is kind, compassionate, and not at all pushy. Her staff is wonderful as well. I would recommend her to anyone who wants a great dermatologist. As an aside, I noticed a reviewer who was unhappy that she offered her health advice. In Dr Nguyen’s defense, she is a doctor and her concern is for the health of her patients. Obesity is unhealthy and she was just doing her due diligence in offering advice that could possibly be life saving.

SEEING HER IS A WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY
I don’t get the great reviews on here about this doctor. She didn’t offer any options for my condition. Zero beside manner. Zero personality. Didn’t even make a chart for me. Wrote my history and her notes on a folded sheet of paper. Seeing her was a colossal waste of time and money. Would never go back to her. AVOID.

Dr. Nguyen is the best! Great staff and nice, new office. I have very fair skin and after years of too much sun, Dr. Nguyen not only took care of two basal cell carcinomas, but she also got rid of all of the sun damage on my face. I could not be happier with my results!

We took our toddler to see Dr. Nguyen and could not be happier. The staff were nice, explained everything calmly, and ensured we were okay with everything that was proposed. We were in and out in about an hour, and it didn't cost much at all. I would definitely recommend this practice.

I've been a patient of Dr. Nguyen's for three years now, and she has treated my skin cancer, given me good advice on keeping my skin healthy and safe, and she even corrected and resolved an issue that a previous dermatologist had mis-diagnosed. Her new office is gorgeous and the staff is friendly and efficient. Wonderful experience.

I have been going to Dr. Nguyen for many years. She has treated my whole family. She is extremely knowledgable and friendly and puts her patients at ease immediately. I've been impressed by the fact that Dr. Nguyen stays on the cutting edge of cosmetic procedures as well. I recently visited Dr. Nguyen new office for a treatment called fracture and IPL and I love the results. Thank you!!!!

Dr Nguyen removed a few skin tags and did biopsy of spot on my face. She was gentle, explained everything she was doing, answered all my questions and took as much time as necessary without me feeling rushed. Her office staff was friendly and helpful and there was little wait time, maybe 10 minutes.
