I consider myself extremely fortunate to have Dr Nguyen as my oncologist. He saved my life and has never stopped searching for new treatments. Whether with me, my wife or sister he has always taken the time to more than adequately explain things to me. As I have to travel from out of the country he doesn't hesitate to make calls necessary to schedule tests such as scans. He is always well prepared when he meets with me.
