He pursued his undergraduate studies at the University of Texas at Austin, where he obtained both a Bachelor’s of Science degree in Biochemistry and Bachelor’s of Arts degree in Microbiology in 2001. He went on to obtain his MD from the Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center in 2008.

He subsequently moved to the University of Utah to pursue additional training in a Gastroenterology fellowship, which he completed in 2016.

His clinical and academic interests are especially dedicated to improving the management of NAFLD and nutritional derangements within chronic liver disease, which in turn have naturally extended into the field of obesity medicine.

    This was my first appointment with Dr Pham. It went flawless, from meeting Jean; his MA, to our time with Dr Pham. He spent over an hour with us. He was very clear in his questions and explanations as well as his expectations for me. I did not feel rushed at all. He answered all my questions very honestly. I feel that he was not holding back or sugar coating my situation. I appreciated his honesty and care.
