This was a great experience. As someone who gets nervous at doctors, Dr. Nguyen put me right at ease. All the staff were so friendly and he explained in very clear words what was going on with my eyes. It made me feel more sure of what to do and that I was not over analyzing things!

My experience with Dr. Nguyen today, April 19th, 2023, was excellent. The office was clean and all office personnel were friendly and knowledgeable. There were Spanish-speaking employees also, which was great for a Spanish-speaking patient who was in the office. Dr. Nguyen thoroughly explained the results of my tests and his office made a referral for me to a surgeon. Dr. Nguyen’s office called me an hour after I had left the office with the date and time for my appointment at the surgeon. I will recommend him to my friends. I had an A++++++++ experience!
