Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr. Ann Nguyen is by far the absolute best OBGYN I’ve ever seen and by far the best doctor I’ve seen she has my utmost respect and gratitude. She has done a fantastic job of assisting me with my problems and didn’t deny me of what I asked for she understands with in reason “my body my rights”. She is a fantastic surgeon, I would definitely refer anyone I know to her. She is kind and always happy with her patients and takes the time to listen and understand. She is extremely knowledgeable and has many years experience in the field. Anyone else would have told me I’m too young and wouldn’t listen to my problems nor would even give me the time of day to understand what I go through during my cycles and would just deny me my right. But she did not she helped relieve me of many more years of pure pain! If you’re looking for that right OBGYN who is not gonna give you a hard time she is the one. I do not understand why her reviews are so low but I’ve got the best review of her!

Unprofessional
Dismissive. Unprofessional. Questionable competency. She recommended her brother, John Nguyen, MD, for primary care, after suffering lack of care, have finally left that practice; both are incompetent in my experience. Alarming frequency of visit intakes with 'students' in training. Long wait times rushed interactions. Staff at FWBeach and Destin offices are only positive to report. Staff was always professional.

PLEASE READ!
Unprofessional, dissmissive, and borderline patient profiling. Save your money and time and search for another providor if you want to be treated with respect. You can read my in dept review on Google as well as many others.

Make sure you go somewhere where you’re heard
“PRETTY PLEASE READ, I want to preface this by saying that I truly do believe that Dr. Nguyen is not a bad person or bad doctor and I don’t get any joy in leaving a bad review. This review is solely for the purpose of others who are either looking into this practice or have had a few iffy experiences. My personal experience here has left me feeling very disappointed and dismissed. I have asked twice for a hormone test, which has been shot down both times. The reasons I have been given as to why I don’t need this test were: 1. I’m not showing any signs of needing it 2. I was told by Dr. Nguyen that she does not do what the patient wants. That I am there for a medical professionals opinion. 3. The test would come back completely normal Please save yourself the time and money and just find someone you trust and will listen to you.

Unhelpful
Dr. Nguyen had me wait for over an hour to be seen, only to be rushed and not helpful to any of my issues. I’ve given her several opportunities over the years to help but never felt heard. She actually told me to get an hysterectomy and take accountability for my weight gain and pain. I’m done, and have found another doctor. I have never left her office feeling confident or relieved instead I’ve felt hurt and humiliated.

Dr. Nguyen is one of the best GYN that I've seen in the past 30 plus years. She was able to answer my questions and listen to my concerns with care. I couldn't say enough good things about her people skills. She interact with patients like her own family members. Since I've relocated from west coast, I was looking for a good GYN in Destin area. Many people had highly recommended Dr. Ann Nguyen.

negative, I would not recommend. I called to set an appointment about a miscarriage. Not a single question was asked about me medically. I was just told to go to the ER. I would prefer my doctor see and refer me to someone who can help versus denying my appointment request. I was completely appalled in how the staff and doctor treated me.

She is a wonderful physician. I am a physician of a very different specialty and I absolutely respect her expertise. She is such a kind hearted and knowledgeable doctor. I have wholeheartedly recommend her to my friends and family. We are lucky to have her in our area.

Dr. Nguyen was very rude. Her bedside manner was crass and belittling for two consecutive years. She seems rushed. I felt humiliated when I left her office by the way she spoke to me. Did she apologize when I brought this to her attention? No. She threatened me in writing. I have never been humiliated by a doctor before.

--After performing a major surgery, didn't bother to speak to my husband or myself in regards to how the procedure went.--charged insurance for two doctors for the hysterectomy, with the second doctor being her husband-who is a urologist and someone I had never seen or had any affiliation with. --She can't keep straight your medical records and current medications.--asked I pay her $25 out of pocket just to fill out pre-authorization insurance form for medication she prescribed.

My experience with her was extremely negative. She was dismissive, condescending, and uninterested in hearing or helping me with my concerns, which actually turned out to be polyps and endometriosis. Fortunately I found another doctor who showed much more concern, and started helping me at my very first visit. I do not recommend Dr. Nguyen.

First appointment of the day, still waited over 30 min for Dr.. She was nice but rushed. Front check in girl was unfriendly and clothes dirty, pant bottom leg hem filthy and ripped from walking on them. Check out lady again unfriendly and short with me. Nurse was again not friendly, first room for vitals was dirty, told to take off shoes and stand backwards on scale. Scale foot area was disgustingly dirty. Exam room was no better, tray with exam items left open and unsanitary. NOT going back.

Dr. Nguygen has been my gyno doc for 21 years. She is personable, kind, and professional. Even when I lived in Atlanta for 2 years, I made the drive into Fort Walton for my appointments as I didn?t want anyone else as my doc - she's the best! My mom has driven from AL to stay with Dr. Nguyen for over 6 years.
