I can not put in words how phenomenal Dr. Kevin Nguyen is. His work is extraordinary. I've been in great pain for 2 years. He was the third 3 spatialist I had seen. It was just for a second opinion because no one else would take the chance to remove my gallbladder that was stuck to my liver. Within 2 weeks of that first appointment he had me scheduled for surgery! Needless to say, he did it and I havent felt this good in years! Thank you Dr. Nguyen!!!

Dr. Kevin Nguyen put me at ease in his communication with me, his personality, and the staff surrounding him. I instantly felt like a load was taken off my shoulders and my mind- that says a lot because I've met my fair share of physicians I didn't care for personally.

Dr. Nguyen and his staff are absolutely amazing , incredibly helpful, caring, and supportive. I feel so lucky that Dr. Nitin Parikh referred me to such a wonderful, knowledgeable, and kind surgeon, Dr. Kevin Nguyen. I'm truly grateful to have one of the world's leading experts perform my surgery and care for me with such compassion and skill.His entire team and supporting staff are just as welcoming, kind, and attentive as Dr. Nguyen himself. They made me feel comfortable and cared for every step of the way.The Liver Abscess/Cyst Drainage/Marsupialization Robotic DV5 procedure went extremely well and amazingly smoothly, thanks to Dr. Nguyen, his entire surgical team, the anesthesiologist, nurses, and supporting staff. I would really appreciate it if my sincere gratitude could be passed on to Dr. Nguyen for his outstanding expertise, warmth, and comforting care. I truly feel blessed that God sent such an exceptional doctor to heal and save my life and so many others.At my two-week follow-up, everything was perfect : no pain and healing beautifully. I'm so thankful to have such a talented doctor who genuinely cares and goes above and beyond for his patients.I would strongly recommend Dr. Nguyen and his team to anyone looking for, compassionate, and top-quality care. Thank you Dr Nguyen and your entire team so much for everything!

And he examined me he cared nothing absolutely nothing about how much pain he was causing me. He hadn't even looked at the Imaging before I came and knew nothing about what had already been found. Even though I kept telling him he was hurting me, he continued I will never recommend this doctor to anyone.

YES! Dr Nguyen discussed treatment to thoroughly. He explained the risk, and interventions, if any risk arrived. Now, his ability to explain something so complex is what put me at ease. Dr. Nguyen sets a great standard for all in the medical field, especially doctors. Dr. Nguyen is smart and he is an experienced Dr. The way you can tell is how he takes his time to explain the procedure to his patients. Truly, Dr. Nguyen is heavenly sent. The compassion that he showed me will never be forgotten. I'm a better person, because I didn't think people like this existed anymore. He finds solutions to problems, not excuses. My hope meter was running low, but God showed me through Dr Nguyen that there is still good in this world, so I must keep going. Thank you Dr Nguyen, I know God has a special blessing for you, because you are healing people with compassion, knowledge and tremendous skills. Please keep Dr Nguyen at all cost. We have to protect the good ones and teach the ones who have been lead astrayl. I only pray that my testimony of my experience with Dr Nguyen can give someone else hope, like Dr Nguyen did for me. Please continue to be the standard for others to follow. God bless you all.
