Wonderful doctor. Really took an interest in our family.
This was one of the best visits we have had at PCH. My daughter has a very complicated medical history and we see many departments. Dr.Nguyen made my daughter feel comfortable and his bed side manner was amazing. We had a wonderful visit.
He was nicest doctor I have seen through out my pregnancy thus far. He was super caring and he didn't make me feel like just another patient.
Had a great experience from booking the appointment to front desk to nursing staff to cardiologist. Dr. Michael Nguyen was absolutely incredible, excellent with my daughter, answered all questions at her level and had such a good positive attitude and energy. We were really pleased with our visit.
