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.
Please contact your provider to confirm if your insurance is accepted.

Patients appreciate
Dr. Derrick Nguyen receives overwhelmingly positive feedback from patients, with the vast majority of reviews rating him 5 stars. Patients consistently praise his exceptional listening skills, noting that he takes time to hear their concerns without rushing through appointments. His communication style is highly valued—he explains medical information clearly using layman's terms, reviews test results thoroughly, and ensures patients understand their diagnoses and treatment plans. Patients frequently describe him as caring, compassionate, and genuinely interested in their wellbeing beyond just their medical condition, often asking about their families and personal lives. His bedside manner is repeatedly highlighted as outstanding, with patients noting his friendliness, professionalism, and ability to make them feel comfortable and at ease during difficult cancer journeys. Many patients express deep gratitude for his dedication, mentioning his responsiveness through MyChart messages and his thoroughness in monitoring their care. Several reviews describe him as one of the best doctors they have ever encountered, with patients stating they trust him completely and would highly recommend him to family and friends.
Patients also share
The reviews contain very few criticisms of Dr. Nguyen's care. A small number of patients mentioned that he speaks very quickly, which occasionally makes it challenging to follow his explanations. One patient wished he would explain medical terminology in simpler terms without requiring them to search online afterward. Another patient noted that while Dr. Nguyen himself is excellent, visiting him at the cancer center when not being treated for cancer was less ideal. One review mentioned a visit where the doctor seemed slightly rushed and behind schedule, though this appears to be an isolated incident. A couple of patients indicated their visits were brief or that they had just met him for the first time, providing limited feedback on their initial impressions.
