    Dr. Nguyen was great! I have extrene anxiety and medical pbobia. She handled it so well. Thorough, made sure I knew I was in control of what was happening during the whole exam. She was thorough, gentle, answered my million questions, offered options so I didn't feel forced I to anything. She was honest. After some very bad experiences else where, I have found my Doctor!
