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.

Excellent!
Dr. Nguyen is one of the best doctors I have encountered. He has amazing manners and explains everything in very caring way. He came to meet with us prior surgery and asked if we had any questions, and I haven’t seen other doctors doing that. I would highly recommend him as I did a lot of research my self prior, and was very confident that he was my surgeon. Can’t thank him enough for his amazing work. Wish him to live hundred more years and save as many patient. Thank you Dr. Nguyen!

Exceptional
Dr. Nguyen was amazing he did a surgery on my wife that 99% of doctors wouldn’t even attempt! (Stage 4 Mets to lungs liver diaphragm and ribs) We know this cause we been battling for 8 years and he finally had the skill to perform her very complicated surgery! He did several things that impressed me he took extra time and attention to detail during the recovery process and this made a very long recovery much easier! As someone with years of experience in the medical field and 8 years as a cancer caregiver, the world needs more doctors like him! Doctors who attack the problem from all sides (from nutrition to recovery and everything in between) not just say chemotherapy and radiation!

This kind Man, This compassionate Doctor- one year ago I had the Whipple surgery, I was so scared and so grateful to have Dr. Nguyen , all that encompasses pancreatic cancer can make a person feel doomed. I have the highest level of praise and gratitude for Dr Nguyen and his staff -in the office and in the hospital . When I talking about how nice Dr. Nguyen is , I cry, because I'm truly grateful to him for that precious element in Life - Time

I had a biopsy done on some swollen lymph nodes the other day. Dr. Nguyen and staff are amazing. Through this entire process people kept telling me how special Dr Nguyen is. Everyone through the entire process was so caring. After my surgery, while i was still asleep from the anesthesia, my family told me they had a call to the desk. When they got there, Dr Nguyen was standing there to update them on my surgery. They said he was the only surgeon they witnessed visit the family like that.

Phenominal doctor! Dr. Nguyen has saved my mother's life not just once, but twice! He performed colon surgery on her in 2016 and pancreatic surgery in 2018. Both times, he was outstanding. Not only is he one of the best in his field, he was genuinely concerned and took time to explain everything to the family and friends. He answered all of our questions and explained it all in plain English - terms that we could understand without a medical degree. I highly recommend him to anyone.

Outstanding Doctor! Dr. Nguyen is the best I have ever seen in 80 years! He has performed excellent surgery on me twice (two different surgeries over 2 years). He is extremely professional and gave completely thorough yet simple explainations. On top of that, he was warm and supportive to both me and my family and ensured all of our questions were answered. Based on talking with nurses, he also treats his coworkers with respect and integrity. Highly recommend this doctor!
