Hampton Roads Eye Associates (HREA), a division of Riverside Medical Group, welcomes a recognized professional in Dr. Nguyen, who believes in caring for patients as she would care for members of her own family.

Dr. Nguyen grew up in Oklahoma where she was a National Merit Scholar. Her medical degree and doctoral degree in Neuroscience are from the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas. Her residency training in ophthalmology was conducted at the Jules Stein Eye Institute at the University of California in Los Angeles. After completing her training, she returned to the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center where she most recently served as the medical director of the Parkland Memorial Hospital Eye Clinic, as well as Assistant Professor of Ophthalmology and as Associate Residency Program Director.

“A patient’s vision is so valuable, and I wanted to be able to help patients who struggle with the health of their eyes,” she says. “I enjoy this specialty because it has allowed me to combine my love of microsurgery with the ability to deliver care that impacts my patients’ quality of life.”

Dr. Nguyen gives a very thorough exam and explains why and what she finds. Her sincere caring really makes you feel she is invested in your eye health as you age. She listens and has excellent suggestions. I feel very fortunate to have her expertise and advice each year. Was so sad when Dr [...] moved but am more than pleased with Dr. Nguyen's knowledge and care. Each visit is a pleasure. [...] pre- assessment also was thorough and comfortable. You felt she really cared that she was giving the accurate readings to Dr. Nguyen.Yes - I already recommended Dr. Nguyen to a co-worker - who already has been for her 2nd yearly exam and felt - as I - that this ophthalmologist not only is on top of the latest but also cares about your concerns and eye health. Also have recommended Dr. Nguyen to 4 friends recently told by their optometrists that cataract surgery will be needed.

Team was professional, friendly, very efficient in conducting the tests for the doctor's consideration. The doctor was great! She was professional, thorough, and put me at ease. She encouraged me to ask questions, and she gave clear and easy-to-understand responses. At the completion of this encounter I was very pleased with everything.

My Care Provider is wonderful. Dr. Nguyen has talked to me about my health, and she has fixed issues with my eyes before fitting me with glasses. The doctor has been careful and considerate, and now, I have 20/20 vision with my new glasses without needing a prism. I use eyedrops for dry eyes related to a disorder I have which has helped me greatly. Dr. Nguyen really cares and treats me with kindness, dignity, and respect. She also takes the time to listen. Dr. Nguyen Is Campassionate, Intellegent, and Thorough. She is a great Doctor!!!
