Peter Nguyen's Online Review Report Card

2nd opinion with this doctor; not impressed on several levels. My preference is a doctor top in his field ~ and ~ treats patients with respect, civility and answers relevant questions. Why would anyone put up with less? I agree - too many other well qualified, experienced ENT's to choose from. Glad he is not my primary physician - what a nightmare to deal with.

What really pissed me off from this dr is the amount of time I had to wait in the waiting room. I'm here on time for my appt. If you're running late then call me and let me know that and I won't come on time. And this happened multiple times. I'd pick someone that was more prompt. Wasted my time when I had things to do after. I had one day off after working for 72 hrs and was going back on for 96hrs the next day. So I have shtt to do. Your time is NOT more important then mine.

Absolutely terrific doctor. Never upsells anything, doesn’t send you for unnecessary tests. His ability is undoubted. OK some people might not like his direct approach but I say to those guys ‘man up’ you are being attended to by a doctor at the top of his field!! Fabulous job with my ear tubes.

Rude Dr., condescending, acted like it was an imposition to speak to him. No thanks! Took my business elsewhere to a better 5 Star Dr. who actually cares about a patient, will listen and values the appointment. Should have read Dr. Nguyen's bad reviews first & would have saved myself the negative experience, waste of time.

Short Version: Dr. Peter T. Nguyen, ENT, DO Fountain Valley, CA Deserves a "ZERO"! Do NOT Recommend = absolute WORST ‘doctor’ experience ever! ... For those interested ~ Detailed Version: saw him for another opinion / assessment of potential surgery for blown ear drum & following healing (was excruciatingly painful /resulted in 30% reduction of hearing) ... 1) Dr. Peter T. Nguyen did NOT listen nor interested in anything expressed as important re: my condition, tests to date, other doctor assessments & recommendations, asking questions, having researched on my own (former professional medical researcher) or having any knowledge whatsoever; Rude ... interrupted me several times when speaking so I asked him not to interrupt me as did not interrupt him. ... 2) Dr. Peter T. Nguyen in my opinion based upon my experience has severe capital ~ Attitude ~problem ... literally reprimanded using sharp tone pointing at me (seriously) challenging me (like to a duel) and said "I wear a tie! See this tie? I know more than ~ any ~ other doctor you've seen ~ none of them know what they are talking about!" ... ??? A tie? Really? Since when? I'm sure the specialists (at well known major hospital) with years of experience would appreciate hearing that. ... 3) And after Dr. Peter T. Nguyen checked out my ear drum and commented on the excellent healing … because I mentioned I attributed the healing to taking 'natural' non-drug antibiotics instead of pharmaceuticals that wipe out the natural immune system in the gut & have negative toxic and harmful effects to vital organs and rather experienced what the Dr. who tested my ear said was "Amazing healing! Good Job ... keep it up." (same Dr. / hearing specialist who had tested both my ears several years prior to the blown ear drum) ~ Dr. Peter T. Nguyen in his infinite wisdom told me he “doubts (I) ever even had a blown ear drum ...(what? / why?)… because no one ever heals that well without antibiotics!” ... Well, I sure did ~ without any drugs! So despite all documentation, the agony I suffered, the ER doctors, ENT Specialists (like him), verified tests, Dr. Peter T. Nguyen determined and told me ALL was meaningless!!! ... must have NEVER happened … really? That’s his response? Yes, that’s how he responded with a most egregious personal insult in addition to insulting the doctors I’d seen with verified test results. ... Wow! How educated is he to be in such denial about alternatives that are effective and have been around longer than pharmaceuticals? Not in touch with reality? If I cut my arm, have a scar and Dr. Peter T. Nguyen were to look at it and say it never happened … does his saying so change what happened? How about I look at him and tell him he never got his medical degree and isn’t an ENT DO? Would that change anything? ... Hello ~ Reality Check! ... What a disappointing reflection of Dr. Peter T. Nguyen’s distorted / inflated ego, tunnel vision and closed mind that he would attempt to negate what I experienced as if it never happened and insult the other doctors & verified test results. ...Red Flag Alert! I wonder how his lack of being open minded to explore / evaluate options would affect his judgement in an emergency during surgery? ... I'm glad I discovered Dr. Peter T. Nguyen's true nature prior to considering and consenting to his surgical service (would never want to be on his surgery table!). ... Take good care of your health & those you love. Best Wishes.

If anyone wants to be treated with the most disrespect and have fingers pointed in your face and getting yelled at I would recommend this doc but otherwise don't go to him serously the worst docter I've ever came across..

With all respect of all the education this ENT achieved but sadly have horrible bedside manner. First time in his office visit, I already see he gesture is unpleasant as he walked into the room and plot himself down the chair. He sat in front of me, slouching, spread his leg wide open, flipping thru my profile like it's another lab rat. He flipped thru my profile like he is so tired of the same job. He was short and dry saying "You don't need the gallbladder, just remove it. There is no cure and nothing you can do about it." I can accept what he said BUT I CAN NOT accept how he is not able to carry himself professionally. I guess he did not get trained on bedside manner thru out his years of internship. Or maybe that is the truth of his identity, a person that has no compassion for patient.

Had my broken nose repaired and an ear procedure done by Dr. Nguyen and, he did a phenomenal job!

I would not reccomend him to anyone. Every visit I had with him he got very impatient with any questions and would raise his voice and yell at me. Never want to see him again.
