Hong T Nguyen, OD

Dr. Nguyen and Don are great. I found her through the VSP network, and making an appointment was easy.
There was minimal paperwork (1 page, both sides), the appointment was thorough and quick, and she was great at answering all my questions.
Don (at the front desk) was also friendly and helpful. I had 2 glasses with loose nose pieces, which he fixed.
One tip for parking — since the office is part of the UWMedicine campus, there is a parking fee. First half hour free, then $ 3 for 30 – 60 mins, $ 5 for 1 – 2 hr, and $ 7 for longer. However there is usually a lot of free 2 hour street parking on N 115^th. And there’s a walkway from the sidewalk right beside the McMurry building where her office is located.
Everything was simple and great. We’ll definitely go back for my husband and kids’ appointment when we need them!

Losing one’s insurance is pretty stressful, especially when you find out only five days prior to its expiration. I had been calling around town trying to get one last eye exam and pair of glasses with my VSP insurance, but every place was booked out past the end of the month. Thankfully, when I called Dr. Nguyen’s office, someone had just cancelled for that same afternoon, so I gladly took the spot.
The location is in the Northwest Hospital complex on N 115^th Street. Parking on the street is a good idea; however, if there is parking near the pharmacy building, this is where you want to be. As pointed out by another reviewer, there is a neon «eye exam» sign to help guide you in the right direction. The entrance is on the north side of the building and the shop is to the right after you enter.
The gentleman who answered the telephone was available when I came in and was very warm and nice. I filled out some paperwork and was taken back to wait for the doctor. She was professional, nice, had a sense of humor, and gave a thorough exam. She took a look at my glasses and pointed out some things that explained why I was likely having some issues using them for reading. The exam was painless, and when told there was some questionable issues with the optic nerve, she was very comforting and took the time to explain what I needed to look for in the future. She didn’t hesitate at all when I asked her to please write down what she was saying, as I was afraid I would forget later.
I had already planned to purchase my frames and lenses elsewhere, and when I mentioned this, it wasn’t a problem at all.
One suggestion for future customers: bring your own sunglasses with you if you think you might be getting your eyes dilated. While they have some plastic lenses that are very good at blocking the light, unfortunately they are a little curved, and I found this skewed my vision enough that I couldn’t use them and drive. Thankfully, I only needed them to get to the car, as I had my own pair of prescription sunglasses in the glovebox.
All in all, this was a very pleasant experience, and I would highly recommend Dr. Nguyen and her office to anyone for an eye exam.

I have VSP and found Dr. Nguyen via the VSP network. I made an appointment to get my annual eye exam. I agree looking for the place was a challenge at first because I did not expect it to be a part of the medical building. For those that are going for the first time I suggest for you to find street parking (there should be plenty) and walk towards the building. They do have a lit up sign that says EYE EXAM that should help guide you in the right direction. I also called and the gentleman that answered the phone was very friendly and guided me to the office. The experience with Dr. Nguyen was phenomenal. I’ve probably seen 5 – 6 eye drs in the past and she is probably one of my favorites! I would highly suggest her for any of your eye exams. She’s thorough and the whole experience was stress free!

Hong was great at helping me get my contacts for the first time. I had no idea what to do and when I was struggling to put my contacts in, she was very supportive.
They also fixed my glasses when they were broken. The appointment was great!
