Dr. Thomas T Nguyen, MD

Dr Schuler and Tao did an awesome job diagnosing my spinal issue and correcting it. It was a complex issue that required continued treatments but the team hung in there with me and got me back on my feet again. VSI is a great facility and I will continue to trust them with my future care.

I have tremendous respect for Dr. Nguyen's treatment and care over these past 5 years, leading into corrective surgeries, and beyond, His care and depth of knowledge brought me back to my active life of travel and and family fun. His ability to keep me as an active and engaged participant in the pre and post-op processes, in my opinion, contributed to my healing process. Dr. Nguyen's investment in my physical and emotional health over the past 5 years directly contributed to a positive surgical outcome. Thank you Dr. Nguyen!!!

excellent

One year ago, I underwent consultation and subsequent spinal surgery with Dr. Schuler. My results have been a true success story. Highly recommend!

Very proffesional staff that is very intereseted in helping you feel your best.

Dr. Schuler has an innate ability to truly listen and clearly explain what he plans to do. I felt I was in the best possible hands with someone who truly cared. I just could not say enough about my experience with VA Spine Institute. The BEST

Lower spine surgery was successful and many mornings I wake up and think about that when I get out of bed. I can cycle, walk, work around the house for hours at a time. Thanks!

Has been very good and no problems on my end

Talented doctor who's knows his stuff.

Dr. Schuler helped me through a complicated diagnosis and chronic pain. His expertise and strong referral network led to results. The PAs and staff are extremely efficient and considerate of patients. I am thankful for my treatment at Virginia Spine Institute. This is the best medical practice that I have seen.

excellent experience starting with initial appointment, followed by superb physical therapy, concluded with a follow up appointment

I came to Dr. Schuler after months of back pain and excruciating sciatica. He was very clear, direct and confident in the course of action we needed to take in order to get my life back. He was exactly right and 3 months later, I am pain free and ready to lead the active lifestyle I want!

Excellent from start to finish

Always professional; always willing to review and answer questions; seeks input from patient; provides thoughtful and insightful solutions to chronic, service-connected spine pain. I will not see any other doctor for pain.

I came to Dr. Nguyen wheelchair bound in extreme pain, with little hope of ever walking again. He listened to every detail of my complicated history and took time to build trust with me. Together we made a pain management plan. It took more than two years, included referrals to the surgical side and to physical therapy, with Dr. Nguyen always part of my team. Now I am mobile with a cane and walker, I can drive short distances, and my pain is managed. I never thought we'd get here, but he always believed we would. He is absolutely amazing.

I have been in pain for years and decided to come to VSI for a second opinion. While meeting with Dr. Nguyen he mentioned stem cells. We talked about diagnostic tests that would be done and I decided this was the right path for me. I had my stem cell procedure 0n Februry 24, It is now April 9 and I can not put into words how truly life changing this has been for me. I had pain and was not very mobile before the procedure... I am almost pain free and I am increasing my activities every day. I am absolutely grateful beyond words that my path crossed with Dr. Nguyen.

Dr. Nguyen has allowed me to heal from my 4th surgery at my own pace and hears my input..

Dr. Nguyen believes that surgery should be the last resort. I had severe continuous back pain in C3-C5. We started with cortisone shots, then radio-frequency ablation, and episiotomies; all worked for a year, then reduced in helpfulness. Finally, rather than fusion surgery, Dr. Nguyen proposed Stem Cell Injections, which was not covered by insurance. It was the best money I've ever spent! It took ~15 months for the stem cells to reach full growth and my pain slowly reduced. Now, I can golf again! I rarely feel any pain at all; only when I overexert myself, and it goes away by the next day. Thank you, Dr. Nguyen!

This is one of the best visits I have ever had with a doctor. The staff is wonderful and Dr. Nguyen is incredible! I've never had a doctor spend so much time explaining my issues before. In addition, Dr. Nguyen is compassionate, listens, and answers all your questions. He gets my absolute highest recommendation!

Good experience especially considering I was skeptical about surgery leading up what ultimately ended up being the only remaining choice.
