I had a total knee replacement in July. Dr. Dinh, from the same office did my surgery. He was so great! He explained everything to me, was very friendly and I never felt rushed. My recovery time was so short. I was able to do so much even the week after. I experienced very little pain—I couldn’t believe it. I got in very close to my appointment time with little waiting. The staff was great as well. I plan to go back and have my other knee done next year.

This Dr. Does not give jell shots in joints. Something about insurance doesn’t pay and I have to get hyalronic product from Walgreens then bring it to him. I was dumbfounded. Have gotten shots in knees for a few years from 3 different ortho surgeon in different states as I travel and Medicare and supplemental always pay. Knees are extremely bone on bone. And I’m becoming disabled from pain and I need pain relief and surgery and he put me at 2 years waiting. I’m speechless shocked.

I dealt primarily with his P.A.s until it came time for surgery. They explained everything in detail & at least one of them was involved in the surgery. Dr. Nguyen stopped by at the hospital prior to surgery to explain what he was going to do & verify that he had the correct knee in mind for surgery. I had both knees replaced 3 mo. apart. He & one of his P.A.s stopped by the morning after surgery to check on my progress. He's efficient and effective. I wouldn't take my knees to anyone else.

Had my right knee replaced on 9/27/16, what a different outcome from the replacement I had done on 6/2/9 to my left knee. Very little pain, and it was very manageable used very little pain medication. no walker, cane or crutches after one week. only 4 weeks of pt, compared to 3 1/2 months the first time. I would highly recommend Dr Nguyen, he is a miracle worker in my book. he is vry busy but got mvd up by 5 months by getting on tne cancellation list

This doctor is quite dismissive and hurried in his manner. He spends 5 minutes in explaining your planned medical procedure and you are out the door. I showed him hip x-rays and CT scans (on CD) plus reports of these from the VA and expected that we would go over these in detail. That didn't happen. He had a cursory look at them in the other room. All he told me was I needed bilateral hip revisions. I definitely would not recommend him.

I have received two total knee replacements from Dr. Nguyen and returned to work in 2 1/2 weeks. I am a Physical Therapist and have treated many of his patients as well. There is no other doctor doing his procedure. There is no other doctor I know of performing this technique. He is worth the wait for surgery!

I had knee replacement surgery and 6 weeks later i was able to play golf! Compared to other patients that had conventional knee replacement at physical therapy I was at least 6-8 weeks ahead of them on rehabilitation. The lateral technique he uses is nothing short of a miracle. I would not hesitate to recommend him, his staff and the technique to anyone considering knee replacement surgery. Awesome!!!
