Dr. Nguyen was excellent. We were establishing care with her as our previous pediatrician always seemed a little distracted and unprepared for our visit. Dr. Nguyen was kind, knowledgeable, prepared, direct, and THOROUGH. I had a lot of questions and felt completely confident after leaving Dr. Nguyen's office.

We had such a great experience seeing Q, she was so warm and respectful and relatable and we really appreciate her seeing us at the last minute. Although our son's issue might have turned out to be nothing serious, she took our concerns very seriously and was very empathetic. Thank you so much for taking the time to talk to us!

Dr. Nguyen is amazing. I had all of my kids with me, and she gave each the attention he or she needed. She relates equally well to me as a parent as she does the children. I am very grateful that she is our pediatrician.

Dr. Nguyen was absolutely wonderful. She showed a great deal of concern about our son and took time to evaluate his condition and hear our story. She made sure that we understood why she was suggesting a specific course of treatment, when our son's condition (breathing problems related to asthma) should improve, and what to do if he did not get better. I could not be more pleased with her and the other clinic staff's care.

So excellent. I am usually uncomfortable with having a med student present, but our provider's method of teaching was so transparent that I felt that I was able to understand the process as well and to feel comfortable in the oversight provided by the primary provider.

Dr. Q's manner with her patients and families is very warm, informative, open. I trust her judgment on most day-to-day pediatric concerns in a normally developing child. Having had a relationship with another pediatrician in the same office for many years, though, I was a little concerned that Dr. Q broached the subject of changing or eliminating a medication (at some point in the future) on only her second visit with my child, whose case is rather a complex one and who is also under the care of a triple-board certified psychiatrist for that very reason. I understand there was no ill intent behind her comments, but I do think it might be wise to withhold that type of discussion until a relationship is better established and she has developed a more robust understanding of the particular patient's history. That being said, I think Dr. Q is an excellent physician who is easy to talk to and is interested in involving patients and families in their care plans.
