    Best OBGYN I've had in State College. She listened to my concerns, and she helped me navigate how to communicate my issues to another specialty outside this health system

    I would recommend this dr to anyone. Her ability to listen to my concerns and provide solutions is great. She doesn't make my problems seem insignificant and that played a large role in taking my health more seriously.

    Dr. Nguyen was excellent. Everything was thoroughly prefaced and I understood everything she did and what it was for. Allowed me to give informed consent for each procedure.
