Insurances accepted
Baylor Scott & White has established agreements with several types of insurance to ensure your health needs are covered.
Insurance listings are subject to change without prior notice.
Please call your physician's office or your health or insurance plan to verify coverage information prior to scheduling your visit or procedure. Not all members participating in contracted networks have "in network" access. In network participation may change from time to time without prior notice. Independent providers (which could include, for example only, anesthesiologists, radiologists, pathologists, emergency medicine physicians, advance practice professionals, and other independent providers of health care services) may deliver part of your care, and such providers may be considered out-of-network on your health and insurance plans even if the Facility may be considered in network. If you desire additional information as to the providers who may be involved in providing your care, you can either ask your treating provider (who may know some of the specialists or groups who could be involved) or you can request a list of Facility-based physician groups by calling the following toll free number: (877) 810-0372. This list is updated annually and is subject to change without prior notice.

Summary created using AI
Patient comments are gathered from our Press Ganey Patient Satisfaction Survey and are displayed in their entirety. Patients are de-identified for confidentiality and patient privacy.
Patients appreciate
Patients consistently praise Dr. Nguyen for his exceptional communication skills and thoroughness. A standout strength noted across dozens of reviews is his ability to explain complex medical conditions and procedures in clear, easy-to-understand terms, often using diagrams and visual aids to help patients grasp what to expect. Reviewers frequently highlight his willingness to take the time needed to answer all questions, his honesty in assessing conditions without sugarcoating, and his collaborative approach to decision-making that involves patients and their families. His bedside manner, described as caring, personable, kind, and reassuring, is another consistently praised quality, with many patients noting they felt comfortable and confident heading into surgery after meeting with him. His staff and office team also receive positive mentions for being friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful.
Patients also share
There are very few criticisms across the reviews. One patient noted a long wait time of about an hour followed by only a ten-minute appointment, feeling the time spent was insufficient. One reviewer expressed frustration that Dr. Nguyen did not ask about their recovery after a hospital stay and felt his account of their care differed from what was communicated during hospitalization, which caused confusion. One reviewer noted that information was initially delivered a bit too quickly for them to absorb, though they appreciated that Dr. Nguyen willingly went over the details again when asked.
