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.

Do not use this doctor if you want to live.
It’s been 8 years and I still have trauma from his bedside matter with my mother dying from cancer. You are just a number. He does not care if you are in pain. He doesn’t care if he is actively causing you pain. My mother’s last days on earth were horrific because of this man. I forgive him for what he did, but I will never forget. You should stay far away. My mother is in Heaven now, and I pray that God forgives you for how you treated her, although you do not deserve it.

Would not use this doctor
Had an appointment with Dr. Nguyen and after waiting over an hour and half I was put in a room. Dr. Nguyen came in and I asked him if he would like to see my reports and he said ' NO, IF YOU WERE TOLD YOU HAVE GALL STONES THEN YOU NEED YOUR GALL BLADDER REMOVED AND IT'S A ONE DAY SURGERY, I DO THEM EVERY THURSDAY AT THE LOCAL HOSPITAL. HERE IS MY CARD, CALL ME WHEN YOU WANT IT DONE. I SAID IS THAT IT AND HE SAID THAT'S IT AND LEFT. I saw him may be for 5 minutes and there was no way I was going to have him do my surgery. I made another appointment with a doctor at Grandview Med. and after being checked out was told I did not need any surgery.

Gross over- scheduling
I arrived a half hour early for a 1/27/2023 3:30 appointment with the surgeon, Dr. Vinh Nguyen. This was a referral from the previous day from Dr. Jason Thompson in the same building. I was appalled to find Dr. Nguyen had scheduled 5 patients within a 40 minute window, some for the exact time and that Dr Nguyen had not arrived. When I cancelled my appointment my request for a refund was met with disdain and resistance. I insisted the office manager be contacted and the refund issued. It was finally issued with obvious reluctance although no credit memo was offered only a verbal statement. When I left (after 3;4) Doctor Nguyen had still not arrived . >

He was clearly preoccupied and barely consulted with me. I was there for an in office procedure and after less than 5 minutes left the exam room sending a nurse back to reschedule for 3 weeks. I had already been there for a consultation and had taken time off work and had child care and a driver. Most in professional experience ever.
