Fun Facts
The best advice Dr. Nguyen has ever received is “Happy wife, happy life.”
The most interesting place he has visited is Yellowstone National Park, where he and his wife went for their honeymoon. “The land was filled with so many animals and the ground itself felt like it was alive. It’s one of the most unique places I’ve ever seen.”
Dr. Nguyen loves animals and has two large dogs (a German shepherd and a yellow lab retriever). His guilty pleasure is mobile gaming on his phone.
Not everyone knows this about Dr. Nguyen, but he loves watching sports. His favorites are football and basketball, but he also enjoys golf, tennis, and mixed martial arts. “The drama that unfolds in a sports arena is far superior to anything we can watch on a show.”
