      Dr. Nguyen was wonderful. His level of professionalism, compassion and care is outstanding. I consider myself blessed to have him care for me throughout my cancer journey. I highly recommend him to others who are going through similar circumstances to mine.

      Dr. Nguyen did not seem to care about my concerns about delayed healing 4 months post-surgery. Did not explain why it might be happening or possible treatments, or actions I could take to improve healing.

      Dr. Nguyen is a true professional. I've seen many plastic surgeons in the past two years and none come close to him. He is direct but kind - knowledgeable but down to earth.

      Dr. Nguyen and his PA, Nicole, helped me tremendously through my breast cancer reconstruction. As expected, it was a challenging time, but Dr. Nguyen helped me through the process. I am extremely grateful for the care and concern he and his team showed.
