Nguyen Katherine, MD

Best doctor ever, in term of care, knowledge and skill set. It’s rare to find a doctor that truly care for you and she does not operate in a rush mode like most of doctors would do. I’ve been to several doctors and rheumatologist but none can help me out especially in managing my pain. I am skeptical at first to see her when I ask for my second opinion to my insurance provider but was glad I made decision to see her and never looked back. She took her time to ask me all questions on my first visit and explain to me in details. I was in the office for well over an hour or two. She diagnosed me with Ankylosing right at that spot before even check thru the lab result. My pain is manageable now and she always update me with new breakthru medication. I wish there are more doctors like her in San Diego. I highly recommend her and her amazing assistant/​staff.

I was going to another doctor, and I thought I needed another opinion. I was aggressively getting worse. I was losing hope. Dr. Nguyen is impressive. It already is very difficult to be a rheumatologist, they are the crème de la crème in doctors. And she is exceptional. I know that some autoimmune diseases are horrible – (can she really help) I know some people have to go through complete hell (and I’m not sure how much a rheumatologist can help if the disease has got so bad– even if they’re the best like Dr. Nguyen). If you’re not sure, and your diagnosis was bad (as was mine) you might want to have her do a second evaluation (if this is something that’s worthy of a second opinion for). I am so much better because I went to her– and had I stayed with my previous doctor.– well I can’t even tell you where I’d be (probably bedridden by now).

Dr. Nguyen is awesome. I have never had a Doctor spend so much time explaining everything to me and my family. Thank you!
