Philosophy of Care
I believe in working closely with other cancer specialists to ensure the most comprehensive and optimal treatment plan for each patient. Since radiation therapy can be an overwhelming process, I also believe it is important to understand each patient's unique perspectives and values. As such, I actively engage patients in the decision-making process to ensure that they are able to make personalized and informed decisions reflecting their goals.
Clinical Interests
Dr. Nguyen is a general radiation oncologist offering care to cancer patients across all disease sites. His clinical experiences include intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT) and stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT). Dr. Nguyen believes in providing effective cancer care along with preserving the best quality of life for all patients.
