“I believe the best type of care comes with clear communication and compromise one can be expected to be perfectly healthy, and I think that’s okay. I find that working together with patients to come up with treatment options and plans that will be realistic overall improves health.”

Good Experience! I was nervous meeting Dr.Tuyen but he quickly reduced my anxiety. I liked how he spoke to me and listened. I was afraid I wasn't using the right words to answer questions but when I got stuck he helped me find the words and he didn't seem bothered doing this. He was NOT arrogant or condescending.
