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.

Highly recommend
Dr Nguyen answered all of my questions. The procedures- endoscopy and colonoscopy were performed quickly and painlessly. He is kind and compassionate.

Really good doctor! I highly recommend Dr. Nguyen.
Really great doctor! Had my first colonoscopy and he sat down before the procedure and explained everything very well. He is very easy to talk to and is a very knowledgeable and overall nice doctor. It is obvious that he is a caring and good guy. I felt like I was in good hands the entire procedure- the nurse and anesthesiologist were great as well. I highly recommend and will go back without hesitation.

Easy Colonoscopy!
I asked for an unsedated colonoscopy, and Dr. Nguyen agreed with no hesitation. The procedure was 100% painless. It took less than half an hour. It was like Science class, watching the monitor. At the time, I was 61 years old (male) and low BMI - about 5"8 and 120 pounds, so I'm thin. I would not hesitate to do it again wide awake. It was amazingly easy and undramatic. (July 2022).

Horrible rude doctor. Office staff is rude and plays favorites with patients. This doctor doesn’t have any knowledge of prescriptions and gave me a few extra that I didn’t need to take, as well as taking away ones I needed. STAY AWAY!

Dr. Nguyen has been my gastroenterologist since 2016 and has treated me for a number of conditions. I have found him to be professional, knowledgeable, and not least of all, caring. He has listened carefully, attentively, and respectfully to everything I have had to say to him. His explanations have been clear and understandable when he has advised me of various treatment options. I cannot recommend him more highly.

I have seen Dr. Nguyen twice. I first saw him for an examination and today I had a colonoscopy with him. He is everything you'd want in a doctor: compassionate, well-spoken and knowledgeable. You can easily tell that he cares about his patients as he takes the time to explain the procedure, answer your questions and make you feel at ease. Dr. Nguyen is a perfect 10.
