UPDATE: One year after Dr. Nguyen performed a sinus surgery on me, he had to refer me to another ENT because I still had breathing issues and because he does not do a particular procedure related to the throat. However on his website (and google search keywords) he claims to do various surgeries related to the throat and/or sleep apnea but when you have a consultation with him and inquire about these surgeries. He will tell you that he does not do them!! This is false advertisement. Truthfully the only surgery he does is balloon sinuplasty, turbinate reduction, and septoplasy because they are IN-OFFICE procedures. This is where he makes all of his money! He even has a CT Scan machine in his practice so they don't have to send you to an imaging facility. So you can imagine how rich this doctor is. I agree with what a previous reviewer said on google, this would certainly explain the advertising video that you will watch in the lobby that only pushes these particular procedures and nothing else related to the field of Otolaryngology. This video shows several people with a breathing issue of various causes. However the video shows how doctor Nguyen was supposedly able to treat each patient with the SAME "in-office procedure" which just so happens to be balloon sinuplasty, septoplasty, and turbinate reduction. Yeah right! Don't be fooled people, depending on the cause and severity of your breathing issue you may need plastic surgery, or referral to a pulmonologist (aka the real breathing specialist). Don't be a victim of false advertisement because the video shows people that are supposed to be a carbon copy of you in order to sell you are service!. For example, One person in the video has sleep apnea, another person had a childhood trauma to the nose, another person has horrible allergies.
Also beware of other ENT doctors as well because I have noticed a pattern of this type of False Advertisement. Keep in mind that otolaryngology/ENT doctors are trained to treat and/or perform surgery on any condition related to the ears, nose, or throat (including the thyroid). However, after you make an appointment and paid your copay, you are often told that the doctor only handles"allergy/sinus issues" . This is because that is where the money is nowadays. Especially given the high number of children with allergies/sinus issues and all of the allergy medicines pushed by the pharmaceutical companies. If you have problems with your ears, throat, or sleep disordered breathing DO YOUR RESEARCH before making an appointment with an ENT/otolaryngolgoy specialist.. Ask to speak with doctor's the nurse or medical assistant and be sure to get their name. Then, if you get to the appointment and the doctor says "I don't do handle that area", ask for your copay to be waived or ask for a refund!! Don't wast your money on useless procedures.
