I sent a message through the app asking questions about some symptoms my child was experiencing and was called quickly after to help talk me though next steps. I was super happy with the response and the turnaround time!
Providence PatientI'm am very satisfied and pleased with the service and care that is provided to my son. Dr. Vania Nguyen is thorough, her team and staff are very responsive, my sons chart is always up to date, Dr. Nguyen is extremely kind, and overall provides excellent care. I recently changed jobs and when searching for opportunities I made sure that the prospective job opportunities provided insurance benefits that aligned with the insurance companies that Dr. Nguyen accepted at her office. I'm very confident that my son receives the best possible care with Dr. Nguyen.
Providence PatientDr. Nguyen was extremely kind, helpful and listened to my concerns regarding my daughter's health. She was the ONE doctor my daughter needed to get the right treatment and medication to ease my daughter's ongoing cough. She did the right tests and ordered X-rays to make sure my daughter's lungs weren't compromised. She prescribed the right medication and overall my spouse and I are very satisfied and relieved that finally someone (Dr. Nguyen) took the time to evaluate our daughter. Please thank Dr. Nguyen for an exceptional service.

Providence PatientThorough and kind, happy to explain things
Providence PatientEverything was great from arrival to exit. It was so nice of Dr Nguyen to give us time after the appointment in the exam room to breastfeed and take our time in leaving. She answered our concerns thoroughly and with care.
