    He is very unprofessional, does not listen to any of my concerns. He had a fit because I go to Quest for my bloodwork and my Specialists (2 of which I have had for years) are not part of the ProHealth network. No other doctor I have seen at that practice had a problem with it.

    Did not explain prior to examination that he was under a strict time limit and that we only had a specific amount of time to discuss my concerns and health issues.

    I had to switch my appointment time and i couldn’t see my first PCP who is loved, “Oksana” but Derek was also awesome for the one appointment i had with him, it’s just tough to be 100% accurate with limited experience from my perspective

    Dr. Nguyen spent unhurried time listening to me. He reviewed my medical history and medications WITH me. I felt that he and I were in a mutual collaboration. I am a respected participant in understanding my health and planning for my needs. He has a kind and respectful manner. I like and trust him.

    The reason I rated my doctor so highly is because he shows how much he cares. He treats me like a human being and gives me the opportunity to communicate with him. He doesn't rush out the door; instead, he takes the time to explain everything regarding my treatment.
