Nguyen Dan-Anh, MD

I saw doc D.A. Nguyen years ago when I was a teenager. Then I switched to different OB offices due to insurance plan changes. I recently went back to see her because the other doc always rushing and I’m pregnant for the 1^st time so I have lot of questions but didn’t get to ask. Doc DA Nguyen always keep me calm and give me time to ask questions. Also, I never had to wait more than 10min in her office. Her assistant Vanessa is very nice and helpful as well.

This place sucks, don’t waste you’re time at this place. Find another doctor that will actually take care of you and your baby.

Wish I would’ve read the other «fraud» reviews before I went here but I had an urgent issue and they were able to get me in the next day. Receptionist was nice enough but what office in the 21 century does not accept credit /​debit cards? They only accept check and cash… thank gosh I had cash. Receptionist did all of my vitals and showed me into the room which I thought was kind of strange. Dr. was fine and referred me to a specialist but recommended I schedule a follow-​up ultrasound appointment as soon as possible. After my appointment the receptionist and Dr. started chattering which I thought was super rude. Obviously you are saying something you don’t want me hear I’m not an idiot. Receptionist was then overly pushy trying to schedule an ultrasound appointment and said they had an appointment the next day but I would need to put down a $ 500 deposit. Ummmm… no! Super shady business practices going on here.

I went there for my tests and since my insurance did not cover for the test so I had to pay some amount of co-​pay. After a few months I got some bill asking me to pay for my test. I called in and her assistant said the amount I paid was not for the tests it was just for the appointment. What the hell was an appointment that cost me couple hundred of dollars just for 15 mins seeing the doctor? She is a doctor but she does not have ethical attitude toward her patients. I read some review below saying her doing FRAUD and now I know she’s actually doing it.

Anyone heard of racial profiling? Well, this place apparently has not heard of it. My mother went here for some menopause issue and they basically told her she had to pay the whole visit up front before the visit happened because she said that vietnamese people like to run off and not pay the money. When she asked whether she would do this to other non-​vietnamese patients, she said she only does it because vietnamese people are shady. Secondly, my mom has came by four times with no result, each time paying 35 dollars and getting no treatment for her problem. She scheduled a pap smear and when she left, they told her to schedule a pap smear. She basically came there for no reason, payed the co pay and did not get a pap smear. Holy moley. This is called FRAUD. We are waiting to take legal action against this doctor as we know she is doing this to all customers and forcing them to come back multiple times to get extra money from her customers. Anyways, I told my mom to never come back because she is in a dire situation and this doctors foresight does not include helping patients. She took the oath to serve her patients with care, but all she sees is dollar signs. I don’t understand what causes people to become such greedy monsters, especially doctors. This practice is one of the most condescending and illegal practices I have seen. This is why vietnamese doctors have such a bad name.

Very bad customer service!
My aunt called for an appointment to check her bladder. First of all, if you are not specialty in bladder, don’t take her appointment. They took her appointment, and my aunt came in thought that she would get her bladder checked. The doctor said they are not specialty in bladder and refused to check. And guess what, they still charged my aunt for doing NOTHING. My aunt had to pay the co-​pay, and they also charged her insurance. What a rip off?

This OBGYN was just okay overall.
Her office seems old compared to other. Also she was VERY late for appointment and seems to be in a rush. When i brought up my other concerns, she refused to do anything.
Switched to other doctor.

I’ve only been to her once last year for a pap smear and she did her job properly, but I always got the sense from her that she’s so busy. When she asked me questions, she seemed to get impatient when I did not answer quickly.
This year, when I found out I was pregnant, I called to ask for her advice, and again, got the sense that she was busy and rushed. Just because I repeated a question for clarification, she kind of snapped an answer at me like I wasn’t listening before. Before I even finished asking another question, she cut me off, assuming she knew what my question was, even though that was not what I intended asking.
I miscarried soon after and when I tried making an appointment, someone from her office told me they don’t accept my insurance, which I thought was odd because I had the same exact insurance from last year, and they accepted it then.
I think she just didn’t want me as a patient because I asked too many questions, which was fine with me because I need a doctor who understands how vulnerable and scared I was feeling and is willing to give me attention and answer my questions without giving me the sense that «I’m too busy because I have a lot of other patients.»

I used to go to Dr. Nguyen for my papsmear. It was REALLY awkward at times… only because she’s known me since I was SEVEN years old. And now I had to explain to this «almost close to Auntie» my sex life and how I was no longer a virgin.
Anyways, she made every experience more comfortable than the next. Never judged me, and kept her tone and attitude in a professional manner. Even during the breast exams (where would get shy) she kept talking to me and reassuring me. The actual papsmear had my heart racing and beating, but she kept talking to me about other things that kept my mind busy and before you know it, it was all over and done. My Dad and her have been friends for years, and she’s a family friend, and great OBGYN!

I’ve been seeing Dr. Nguyen for almost 10 years now since I moved to San Jose. Her staff’s very friendly. Wait time is less than 15 minutes provided I arrive on time. I just had a baby at O Connor hospital and Dr. Nguyen was very patient with me during the labor and delivery process as I kept buying time to deliver my baby naturally without medical intervention. She answered all my questions and calmed down all my worries and concerns for being a first time Mom. She even took time to go through my birth plan.
I highly recommend her for anyone looking for an OBGYN.

I was new to the SJ area and was in need of a new OB. Found her on my network list and gave it a shot.
I thought Dr. Nguyen was great. She knew what she was talking about, I never felt rushed and she was patient with my questions. We did a full exam and I will be going to her from now on for my OB-​gyn needs.
Her front office secretary was fine. Some people are a TAD dramatic in their reviews. It’s your first visit to the office. I wouldnt trust that you would come back either.
Just my two cents.

Customer service is SUCK!
I went there to visit the office for the first time. After filling out all paperworks, the lady at the front desk asked me for copay of $ 20.00 (I’ve PPO). I didn’t know they don’t have the machine to accept debit card, so I told her I have only $ 15.00. I’ll send her a check of $ 5.00 when I get home. She said «NO», because it’s my first visit so I have to pay in FULL. She requested me to go to Wells Fargo bank in Valley Fair to get her $ 5.00 (I’ve Wells Fargo). For God’s Sake, you don’t consider your time as precious but mine is. I got lost for several turns before going to your office, and now you asked me to go to the bank to get you $ 5.00 just b/​c I’m a new client. You should at least tell me to bring cash in the morning when we’re on the phone. How in the world you do business and you don’t have a machine to accept debit cards??? You should learn to trust people. You think I will run away with your $ 5.00? I’ve not even seen the doctor yet, but the customer service alone make me NEVER coming back.

My one and only visit to her office, proved to be a good investment. She did a breasts exam and found a bump! I totally was caught off guard and oblivious to this. She did it very cautiously making sure to check all spots, and not like other places where they just tap, tap, tap and determine you’re a-​ok!
Her bedsides manner are not so great, she gives mean remarks. her office staff are nice, but she does share the office with another doctor, i don’t know what relation she has with the doctor.
If you need an appointment, and are part of san jose physicians medical group, she is the best bet, because all the other ones aren’t accepting new clients, or way too busy to schedule you sometime this year.
