Dr. Thanh Minh Nguyen, MD

Please do not go to this doctor. Only go if you want to die. I went to him and he demanded that I go do dialysis because my kidneys were poor (13%). I refused because I still feel healthy, I'm not bed-bound or wheelchair bound, I can walk on my own, I can still operate normally, etc. So he then asked my PCP to demand me to go do dialysis. I refused again, so they have to give me medications to treat my kidney problems. After a few months on the medications and changing my eating/daily habits and routines, my kidney percentage went up to 15% (I couldn't see the score yet) - he shook his head like it has gotten worse and said to me to prepare to do dialysis. I asked for the score and he told me 15% and showed me the papers. I asked him if it went up, why should I prepare myself for dialysis - he said that it could go back down. I informed him that I won't let it go back down. And then he changed my medications to something else - why change someone's medications if it's working? Unless… the doctor wants the patient to die and this is the case with Dr. Nguyen Minh Thanh on the corner of Westminster / Magnolia in Garden Grove, CA.

This doctor is not a good doctor. He wanted to do dialysis to my Mom and Dad. But I refused that and ask for the second opinion. It turned out they did not have anything. The worst case was my Mom. He said my Mom needed dialysis immediately otherwise she would die. We replaced him with another doctor. The second doctor treated my Mom well and she had only pneumonia and lacking of blood level. If we listened to him, my Mom would die already. Stay away this doctor!
