About
Dr. Hong Nhung T. Nguyen is a family medicine physician with over 10 years of experience treating elderly patients under Medicare and Medicaid programs. Her path into medicine grew from a deeply personal experience: after her father died due to a misdiagnosis by a family physician, she resolved to build a career around comprehensive preventive care and precise diagnosis. That commitment shapes how she approaches every patient encounter.
Dr. Nguyen specializes in functional medicine and bio-identical hormone replacement therapy alongside full-scope family medicine. She treats conditions including perimenopause, menopause, hormone imbalance, osteoporosis, heart disease, depression, anxiety, and sleep disorders. Before founding Family & Wellness Medicine, she carried nearly 5,000 patients in a traditional practice. She shifted to direct primary care so she could see only hundreds of patients and give each one the time and attention they deserve. Deeply rooted in Vietnamese culture, she treats her senior patients with the same patience and care she would show family members. She conducts visits in Vietnamese for patients who prefer it and remains reachable by phone in the evenings and on weekends.
