Dr. Nguyen is fellowship-trained in sports medicine and total joints. Born in Vietnam and raised in California, he can speak multiple languages such as Vietnamese and Spanish.

Musculoskeletal injuries were an interest of Dr. Nguyen at an early age when he fractured his tibia/fibula as a wrestler in high school. This sparked his interest in helping others walk again. His interests in sports, anatomy, and science propelled him to major in Exercise Biology at UC Davis and then led him to study medicine at Howard University. Naturally, he went on to specialize in Orthopaedic Surgery based on his passion for musculoskeletal injuries and the will to help others recover from them.
