  • Dr Nguyen was completely knowledgeable about my medical history with severe diarrhea and hospitalization with severe electrolyte imbalance. He had complete knowledge of all the medications I was taking. He asked how much I was paying for the budesonide [ID]mg I was taking and I told him $[ID] per month. He is very concerned about cost for his senior patients on social security and put me on a less expensive version of the same drug. Then he told me I don't have colitis but lymphocytic colitis needing Stelara for hope of remission as there is no cure. His office is helping me get the care I need. I am so happy to have him as my gastroenterologist, he is very kind, knowledgeable, and helpful. He has given me hope that I will get well again. I have accepted there is no cure but remain hopeful for remission. I am ready for my 14 to 16 month journey for remission by getting Stelara first by IV infusion and then sub-q injections every 8 weeks for 1 year
    Dr Nguyen is outstanding!
    Excellent care
    Dr. Nguyen was very informative and very friendly. He explained to me what to expext before, during, and after the procedure I am going to have in layman's terms. Highly recommended.
    Dr. Nguyen is very personable, knowledgeable and preformed an endoscopy and colonoscopy much sooner than I anticipated. I am awaiting biopsy results and he has been optimistic that he will have a diagnosis and treatment plan in place next week. Excellent care by Dr. Nguyen, Dr. Wong and the nursing staff.
