Andrew Nguyen's Online Review Report Card

I saw Dr. Nguyen because I was referred to him by a Neurologist who found a possible brain tumor during a MRI. When we saw him, Dr. Nguyen was rude, abusive, insulting and bad mannered. I could go on and on about his demeanor but I don't think I have enough room left. After reviewing the MRI he really became abusive, telling us that this SMALL tumor was not the cause of my symptoms and that he has seen people with much larger tumors, some the size of grapefruits, that didn't cause this many problems. We were in the examination room maybe 5-10 minutes. He never conducted any type of physical examination or asked any questions. It appears he only looked at the MRI and read the radiologist's report. He maybe has a degree at Harvard but I wouldn't let him operate on my neighbor's cat.

After years of pain and going through my insurance hoops to get an MRI and meet with a doctor to find out what is wrong my back, Dr. Nguyen spent 3 minutes with me (literally!). He was rude, cut me off, wouldn't let me talk. He asked me where my pain was and when I answered him, he told me, "That doesn't make sense. It can't be there," and would not let me finish. He was the stereotypical obnoxious, bullying, arrogant, egotistical doctor!!!!!! I didn't believe those kinds of doctors still existed. If you want a kind, caring human doctor, don't go to Dr. Nguyen. On top of all this, he told me he was referring me to another pain management doctor and to get more X-rays, and now, a 6 weeks later, neither of the referrals have been made! So the office isn't even competent at making referrals. I will never go back to Dr. Nguyen or his office.

He came to see me at Palomar Hospital In Escondido. He is very rude and has a big ego. called me stupid because I disagreed with his diagnosis and wanted a second. Told my daughter I had 6 months to live but never told me this information. He will never do any surgery on me can not be trusted to tell the truth.

Well worth the wait. He is amazing and genuinely cares about each patient.

To Neurosurgeon Dr. Andrew Nguyen, I would like to personally Thank You Sir, for your flawless work. My 40 year old Brother has a rare condition called hydrocephalus. Dr. Nguyen was able to successfully perform an emergency shunt revision. This procedure was Very high risk in nature and was a last resort for my brother. Dr. Nguyen was able to remove my brother's old shunt from his heart and redirect it to his lung without any complications. Dr Nguyen saved my Brother's life, I am forever grateful!
