Who we serve
Vietnamese Speaking Patients
Dr Hao Nguyen consults in Vietnamese as well as English. Clinical findings, treatment options and instructions are discussed directly with the doctor rather than through an interpreter.
“I would rather discuss my eye health with a doctor who speaks Vietnamese.”
Being able to discuss your own eye health directly with the doctor treating you, in your first language, changes the quality of the appointment. Questions get asked that would otherwise go unasked.
Dr Hao Nguyen is bilingual in English and Vietnamese, and consults in either. That covers the full range: comprehensive examination, ocular disease management, cataract co-management and specialty contact lens fitting.
It matters particularly for chronic conditions. Diabetes, glaucoma and macular degeneration all need long term management, and long term management depends on the patient genuinely understanding what is being tracked and why.
What matters most for this group
- Direct consultation
- Discussion happens with the doctor rather than through a relative or an interpreter.
- Chronic disease management
- Diabetes and glaucoma monitoring both depend on understanding what is being tracked over years.
- Surgical co-management
- Cataract and refractive surgery decisions are explained fully before referral.
