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.

Terrible doctor who is a crummy doctor
My friend’s mom dried because this doctor told a nurse in the hospital to give her an antibiotic to which she was severely allergic to. The pharmacist and nurse both questioned about giving this medication. They gave the medication IV and the patients heart stopped and she died.. This case was investigated by the CA Meical Board and the doctors will have his license. Go to the Medical Board Breeze website and type in his name.

Not much confidence in this doctor
My son was a patient of his at Alvarado hospital last week. He had a lot of health issues going in along with an opioid addiction he was trying to get help from. Yea he doctor didn’t listen to what he needed and he was difficult to reach. My husband and I were there every step of the way trying to give as much information on the situation and helping with his needs. There was not much this doctor would listen to in order to help him. I cannot believe a doctor of 22 years would have no idea how to help him. When I called out the things that were not being done at the hospital he had an excuse for it all. I didn’t have much confidence in this doctor and my son ended up walking out. My husband and I both left messages for him and never got a return call.

Dr. Nguyen is literally the worst doctor that I have ever had the displeasure of having treat me. He actually made decisions regarding my care with his payment as a priority. He has made trust doctors even less and I’ve never worried more about my care than when he was seeing me at paradise valley. This entire hospital seems to be a business first and concern about my well being was the furthest thing from his mind. I will never allow him to take care of me or a loved one again. Frankly, if this is the care that paradise valley stands for, i will never return to that hospital either. Stay away from this “doctor” and you should probably avoid this hospital as well.
