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.

Just Say No
Awful experience. They threaten you if you cancel with a $200 cancellation fee but they can cancel on you the same day after your appointment, two weeks in a row!! How can a doctor be sick two Fridays in a row? I think she just wanted to start her weekend early.Meanwhile l've missed two weeks of work because I am a flight attendant and I go on 3 day trips! She's cost me over $1,000 of lost wages with her cancellations.The front staff was apologetic but enough is enough. There won't be a 3rd time. I'll never go back. Very poor work ethic.

After being a patient of Dr. Nguyen for more than 20 years and being asked to change my appointment from Monday to Friday. However, I refused service when I arrived at the office 20 minutes before my appointment because Eye Florida no accepted my insurance by United Healthcare. Donald White

Horrible Office Customer Service
After three attempts to get a referral to Dr. Nguyen's office. I showed up for my appointment, still, they received no referral. I called my primary care office immediately and they resent the referral again for a third time. Dr. Nguyen office staff would not even talk to my provider that I had on the phone right there. My provider faxed it immediately as Dr. Nguyen office wanted the faxed referral wouldn't take a verbal. I proceeded to wait in the waiting rooms. After 1/2 hour after my scheduled appointment, they called me up to say they still did not get the faxed referral so I had to reschedule my appointment. I couldn't believe they were sending me away. That is such poor service. I had been an Medical Office manager in the past. I would never send a patient away! I couldn't believe it. POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!!!

Horrible Customer Service – Feb 14, 2023

My visits have been lack luster at best. Dr. Nguyen is dismissive and strung me along for 7 months without any real results. The Dr. contradicts herself, telling me that my vision is a simple correction, but 2 sentences later, says I would be legally blind without the vision in my left eye, and they can only correct it to 20/35. I wouldn't mind all this except she told me I likely have diabetes, so I went and got blood work and my blood sugar and A1C levels are below average. I'm a large person, but I eat Keto and work out 5 days a week, so I'm not exactly fat. She wouldn't listen to that and then, instead of setting my appointment for a month later (to let my eyes readjust after being on drops for 3 months), she sets my follow up for prescription lenses 3 months later. I was patient about this until I went to my appointment, confirmed via email, and they rescheduled the appointment without contacting me. I can't see well enough to read, or drive and they just don't seem to mind.

Dr. Nguyen would be highly recommended by me to other prospective patients. Her staff is very professional, helpful and friendly. Both of her facilities are clean and have all the latest equipment.

I felt this was a money grubbing operation. I had 4 appointments in a month, lots of insurance billing eye tests and was told first that I did not need glasses. Then I was told at last appointment by an associate doctor who barely spoke English that I needed glasses 2 days before I was leaving FL. So I asked if I could have prescription for glasses to take with me. I was told I would have to pay an additional $35 for actual prescription. Waste of time and money. I don't trust them.
