About

Dr. Nguyen’s approach to patient care is collaborative, compassionate, and patient-centered.

Dr. Nguyen strives to communicate clearly and provide thoughtful, up-to-date guidance while creating a supportive and nonjudgmental environment.

Before medicine, Dr. Nguyen worked as both a high school English teacher and a theater artistic director, experiences that shaped his interest in listening to people’s stories and understanding the many ways individuals experience the world. Those experiences continue to influence his warm, humane, and creative approach to psychiatry.
