First time experience with Dr. Nguyen and it was excellent. Very thorough, totally knowledgeable, no nonsense approach to skin challenges. I will be more regular in my visits to assure proper care as I age. It was especially helpful to get an appointment in a week instead of 3 months as some other dermatologists were quoting. Appreciated finding a new professional that I could rely on for years to come. Note to office administrator: as a designer, I would suggest that you get your landlord to change out the bulbs in your lobby recessed lights.

The nurse practitioner Emily is INCREDIBLE, I have had many miles removed for precancerous melanoma. She cared very deeply for her clients and has a deep desire to stop melanoma before it starts. She is kind, caring, and has a passion for skin care- could not recommend her more highly

I love Dr. Nguyen!!! Her treatments keep me looking, young, feeling comfortable in my skin, and I recommend her to all of my friends and family. I feel very lucky that I found Dr. Nguyen all those years ago, My skin is much happier for it. I have rosacea, she helps me keep it under control and feel confident instead of having breakouts and horrible red marks on my cheeks. My sister will be going there soon to get something done so it’s a family affair :-) highly recommend to everyone in the community and beyond!
