Biography

Dr. Dung H Nguyen is currently the Director of Breast Reconstruction at the Stanford Women’s Cancer Center and the Director of Adult Plastics Clinic at Stanford Healthcare. She graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry and highest academic honor and distinction from U.C. Davis. She earned a Pharm.D degree from U.C.S.F. School of Pharmacy and a MD degree from U.C.S.D. She then did a residency in general surgery and a residency in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery at the University of Southern California (USC) Medical Center. She further completed a fellowship in microsurgery from Chang Gung Memorial Hospital in Taiwan, one of the largest reconstructive surgery centers in the world. She was recruited to Stanford from Cedar Sinai Medical Center in 2012, and is currently a Clinical Professor in the Division of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery at Stanford University.

Dr. Nguyen specializes in aesthetic and reconstructive breast surgery, surgical treatment of lymphedema including vascularized lymph node transfer and lymphaticovenous anastomosis, and complex tissue reconstruction utilizing microsurgery and supermicrosurgery. She also has interest in cosmetic surgery, including facial rejuvenation and body contouring procedures.

In addition to her clinical commitment, Dr. Nguyen has basic science and clinical research interests in lymphedema and breast reconstruction. She has published articles in peer review journals, presented at national and international professional meetings and has authored book chapters in various plastic surgery textbooks. She also enjoys volunteering on overseas medical missions and participating in medical charity activities.

Very appreciative of all the assistance from Dr. Nguyen and her staff

Jul 2022

•

Verified SHC Patient

I appreciate her directness, her communication skills and the information she provided. I felt she was a little rushed at the end, but understandable. I felt a little as though I was 'left hanging' at the end of the visit, but she did explain clearly that the next step was to submit request for authorization to insurance which would take a long time, and for me to request physical therapy referrals from her assistant after the visit. Stanford's staff has provided the most direct access to information of all the resources I've tried to access for this somewhat unusual medical condition, and I am grateful for that. I've been looking for help with this for so long, I think it may have been the reason I felt a bit left behind when I hung up, as the information came across quite quickly and thoroughly without much struggle to obtain it. Dr. Nguyen did explain many of the essential things I needed to know regarding timing of surgery and recovery and authorization, which was a huge help. Thank you.

She seems really talented. With my previous surgery she surprised me 5 minutes before the start by offering an new treatment that I had to approve right then and there, that is not how it is supposed to be. That being said, she seems very talented and if I am assertive in asking questions and making sure I do not stop until I get the information I need, she has the knowledge and expertise to make me feel I am in the right hands
