Dr. Nguyen was very professional from the first visit to the day of surgery. He explained what I needed and what were the best options for me. The day of surgery he spoke to me and my wife before surgery and spoke to my wife after surgery making sure she knew how surgery turned out. He was very kind and understanding.

Dr. Nguyen has been wonderful and very communicative with us regarding our son's ACL and meniscus surgery. Our son was very comfortable with meeting Dr. Nguyen and the surgery process in general.

Dr. Nguyen’s bedside manner came across as very dry and impersonal. The interaction felt cold and lacked the warmth, empathy, and engagement that many patients look for during medical visits. Clear communication and a more compassionate approach would significantly improve the overall patient experience.
