About
At FirstChoice Family Medicine in Lutherville-Timonium, Maryland, Dr. Thy Nguyen delivers primary care under a model she calls Connected Care. She launched this concierge practice on January 1, 2019, after nearly a decade treating 2,500 patients in traditional Baltimore County medicine. The transition let her focus on a smaller panel of a few hundred members. That shift made room for same-day appointments, extended visits, and no office wait times.
Dr. Nguyen grounds her practice in four core beliefs: good medicine addresses body, soul, and spirit; healing requires finding the deepest roots of illness; the patient-doctor relationship is the foundation of care; and optimal healthcare is individualized healthcare. Members reach her directly by cell, text, video chat, or secure messaging. The practice covers a wide clinical range, including chronic disease management, medical weight loss with Semaglutide, cosmetic procedures, travel medicine, urgent care, and employment health. Charda Rivies has served as the front office staff since the practice opened, now going on eight years, and patients regularly credit her calm and friendly presence.
