Dr. Khoa Nguyen, MD

Dr. Nguyen was friendly, helpful, and very efficient. I needed a number of moles removed, and he did it right in his office. A few weeks later I received an envelope from him, and I assumed it was the bill for anything my insurance didn’t cover. Instead, I found a check written TO ME which was overpayment by my insurance company! He sent me the check before I had even received the EOB from my insurance. I’ve never had that happen in my life. Definitely using him again.

I went in about a rash on my leg and was told it was due to hot showers and I need to only take cold showers from now on. He prescribed medicine that didn’t help so I went back in to ask for something different. He tricked me by prescribing the same medicine after I told him I needed something different or stronger. And made me feel like a terrible person for taking a 5 minute shower every other day. I also brought my daughter in for a rash and he said there’s nothing to do about it, we just have to live with it.

He is a very nice and honest Dermatologist in the area. I know it is hard to get an appt with him. He never tries to up sell me anything that would not need. I appreciate that, I used to go to a different dermatology who would like to up sell me all kinds of creams an lotions. He definitely takes care of his patience.

I’ve seen Dr. Nguyen three times for three different and unrelated issues, the first more than ten years ago and the most recent being last month.
In all three cases, Dr. Nguyen was an excellent doctor who really took the time to understand the issue, research what to do, and help me understand the treatment, followup, etc. He is very personable and caring. My appointment last month was for a minor surgery which, while fairly routine, still made me a bit nervous. But he was very reassuring the whole time which made the surgery as tolerable as it could be. And his treatments worked in all three cases, so at least for me, he was effective.

The front desk person is very nice. The doctor is knowledgeable, gives great advice and treatment plan. He was concerned with my overall health. He was personable and professional. A great bedside manner. Very timely, minimal if any wait time.
I had multiple issues and we went over all of them as he took notes and then went back over them so he could prescribed the treatment plan. It was a relaxed environment, in his office rather than a patient room.

I went to Dr. Nguyen to have a mole removed — the procedure went fine, and he was very friendly and explained things well. I had this done right before the holidays, so I had to get my stitches out at another doctor back home. The doctor who removed the stitches said that they were «interesting sutures», and when I told him Dr. Nguyen had prescribed daily application of hydrogen peroxide, he was shocked. He told me that hydrogen peroxide hasn’t been used by medical professionals for the past 20 years, and shouldn’t be used for anything. It kills bacteria, but also kills any cells trying to heal. While Dr. Nguyen was very easy to work with, I am not sure that he keeps up on current medical standards.

Excellent care from a caring, exceptional doctor. Dr. Nguyen is one of those rare health care practitioners that will take the time to explain to you a diagnosis and treatment options. I have been going to him for years and many friends and family members are patients as well. I highly recommend him.

Dr Nguyen is extremely friendly, explanative and helpful. The receptionists, however, are shockingly insensitive, pushy and offensive. I’ve had to ‘deal’ w/​different receptionists at least 5 times over the past 10 years, and that’s putting it lightly. It’s an unfortunately high wall of ugly to go through in order to achieve such great health care.

I really can’t compare since I haven’t had a lot of ‘work’ done, but Dr. Khoa Quoc Nguyen is really a warm and educational doctor. I told him that this lady at a nail salon offered to laser my mole for me for $ 200. Originally, last year, Dr. Nguyen had assessed my mole (on the right side of my nose (had it since birth), and had given me a price tag of $ 250 and an educational conversation that went into the details of what he would do and how he would do it. So when I reapproached him this time, ready for my mole removal, he laughed at the thought of lasering the mole. «moles have roots», he said. I was on the table, he was talking to me about his 3 daughters, I had been locally anesthetized and I was asking him if I could see an illustration of a mole and its roots. I had some image in my mind of like in middle school when they show you the architecture of a zit, anyway, I’m just laying there and he holds up my extracted mole in the blaring medical lamp! I felt so comfortable with Dr. Nguyen with my minor surgery. He stitched me up and I was on my way. Later, I brought my boyfriend in for some skin tag removal, that went well also. I will say, don’t let the office exterior intimidate you. In my experience, this is completely normal in the Falls Church area. :)
