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.

Very caring doctor explains conditions well I highly recommend him and his staff is also amazing ??

Dr. Nguyen is the most patient and compassionate doctor that I have ever had. Going through cancer treatment is not easy and I know that I could not have done it without his patience and guidance in instructing me through my treatment plan. He has a way of encouraging and motivating his patients to stay strong and endure without forgetting that you can still live your life the best way possible. I am greatful to have Dr. Ngyuen has my doctor through this journey because I know that he is the best in what he does. His compassion and care for his patients is genuine. Thank you Dr. Ngyuen for helping keep me realize to keep living life normally and for your generous donation to me and my students at Stiern Middle School. They are so excited about the new greenhouse. We are looking forward to the projects and opportunities that this addition to campus will allow. I appreciate you and thank you so mcuh!!!

I have been a patient of Dr. Nguyen's for 4 1/2 years. I am a registered nurse and my husband is a physician. We have the utmost confidence and trust in Dr. Nguyen. We both have no reservations recommending and referring patients to his office. The staff are knowledgeable and extremely caring. They treat everyone with kindness and respect. The only oncologist to see and trust!

From the first phone call, the nursing staff, to the ladies in the office, never ever have I experienced the highest level of care and concern as the entire staff with Dr. Nguyen? I felt as if I was the only patient in their care. Dr. Nguyen is my hero... God bless this compassionate doctor.

He is truly the most compassionate doctor I have ever met. I already have boasted of him all over the internet and neighbors, friends and family. They told me that if they ever come down with the C word, they would do all they can to have him for their doctor.
