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.

Dr. Nguyen delivered both my boys 4 years apart and both experiences were absolutely perfect. She listens, is very reassuring, and everything seems “easy” for her. She’s not the smiliest but she’s most definitely a wonderful doctor. I highly recommend.

Dr Nguyen has been my favorite obgyn I have ever seen! She is not the most warm/friendly person I have ever met, but she is the most amazing DOCTOR! She is calm, reassuring, answers all my questions, and is even available by phone for emergencies.

This woman undid some serious damage I had done to me in my first 2 deliveries. She is focused and has a strong but Zen vibe. True, her main concern is that you get a live healthy baby and not an experience, but at 40, this worked for me. As a white woman with dreadlocks, respect from other woman is always an issue. This woman not only respected me but advocated for me on delivery day and made sure the nurses respected me. She was intuitive without being wishy washy. She is a hero to me.

I would never recommend this heartless doctor to anyone. I was part of the 10% that she did not deliver herself. She was going out of town for my due date so she stripped my membranes without asking or telling me in order to make me deliver sooner. It was so painful. It also did not make me deliver sooner but instead made me deliver when she was out of town with an emergency C-section because she was trying to speed things up without my permission. I should sue her!
