The reviews listed below were collected independently of The CORE Institute through rater8. Each review represents an authentic and verified patient experience.
Bedside manner made me anxious just before surgery. Just before going into surgery he said, “You do understand all the risks of surgery.” I said yes and he left the room. I then started crying. Between his nurse not returning calls about medications prior to surgery and my last encounter with him just before surgery, I hope they realize that surgery does give people anxiety. Having a warmer demeanor can help to relieve stress and anxiety on the part of the patient. This was not my first knee surgery and I have had doctors ease anxiety just from their warm bedside manner. I am sure he is a wonderful surgeon, but both he and those that work for him, taking the patient into consideration would have made my experience much better.

Dr. Tony Nguyen has to be one of the best doctors out there. I literally had to look at my knee to see if surgery was even done. My experience has been phenomenal pre and post surgery. I don't have any pain and I appreciate the periodic check ins.
