Dr. Duc Quang Nguyen, MD

This past December I experienced chest pains and slight shortness of breath. I was transferred to TriStar Centennial for a Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG) of my left, center, and right coronary arteries (90, 70, and 50 percent blocked) that were not good candidates for stents because of location and length of blockage. Strictly by luck I was assigned to Dr. Nguyen (pronounced win). He was very professional, reassuring, and explanatory in his conversations before and after surgery. He did not have any hint of arrogance that you often see in some highly technically competent surgeons (he does heart transplants as well as CABGs), but is very pleasant to talk with, and explains some complex processes in ways that you and your spouse can easily understand. The surgery went exceptionally well and he stopped by many times to check on me. At my six week follow-up he went over all of my notes and explained a couple of items I had questions on. Depending on how you view it, the incision was sewed up so well that really is not even a way to see that I’ve had open heart surgery. Most people comment that they can’t find it. One person said that if they went through what I went through they would want some big scar to prove what happened to them. I am fine with an almost invisible line that can hardly be called a scar. Overall, the care I received from him from a technical competence, bedside manner, and follow-up standpoint have been excellent and definitely a six star experience.

I have always thought that God worked through doctors, but Dr. Nguyen is the truest example of this. He is a four star rating in all areas or categories that are here to rate him, but his star rating in other areas not mentioned is off the charts. If you need a fantastic cardiac surgeon, please do a consultation with this doctor! You will not regret it!
