Dr. Thao Nguyen, MD

Dr. Thao Nguyen, MD

Primary Care Doctor
3614 Providence Rd S, Ste 200, Waxhaw, NC
My path to medicine began in eighth grade, after reading an article about Vietnamese boat people. Seeing physicians from Doctors Without Borders go out to sea to help those in need moved me deeply. From that moment, I knew I wanted to be a doctor, someone patients could turn to in their most vulnerable moments. Family medicine was a natural fit. The continuity of care is what draws me to this specialty. Watching my pediatric patients grow into adulthood, supporting middle-aged patients through the changes that come with time and helping seniors manage their chronic health conditions, that full spectrum of care is what makes this work so meaningful to me. I've been a physician since 2006 and ran my own private practice for 17 years before joining Novant Health. That experience reinforced something I believe deeply: as a family medicine physician, you're often the first person a patient turns to, whether the concern is medical or personal. That trust is something I take seriously. Prevention is at the heart of how I practice. I focus on the changes patients can make before problems develop and encourage everyone to be proactive about their health. I'm a good listener, and I take a thorough approach. No concern is too small to address. My own life story has shaped the empathy I bring to my work. My family and I were among the thousands of Vietnamese boat people who fled communism in the 1980s in search of freedom. That journey strengthened me and gave me a lasting ability to connect with patients facing hardship and uncertainty. Outside the office, I'm the youngest of eight children, and, as I'll tell anyone who asks, my parents' favorite. My five dogs, Dough, Dory, Poppy, Olive and Ut, keep my home lively. Cooking brings me real joy, especially watching people enjoy what I've prepared. Traveling, photography, hiking and gardening round out my interests, and I'm always looking for something new to try.
