FEMALE PATIENTS OF DUNG T. NGUYEN, D.O., 7340 E SPEEDWAY BLVD, TUCSON, AZ 85710 SHOULD NOT BE EXAMINED WITHOUT A FEMALE CHAPERONE IN THE ROOM. I was a patient of his for years without a problem. I highly recommended him and then there was an incident that occurred during a visit for a sinus infection, when he asked me to lift up my shirt and I thought he was going to listen to my lungs. He then proceeded to unhook my bra and conduct a “breast exam.” I was shocked and then angry and never returned after that. My mother was also a patient of his and she said he acted “weird” at her last exam. Upon further questioning, he had done the same thing to her. This physician leaves the impression of a devout and caring Catholic physician, but something is not right with him. I feel this is the quickest way to warn other patients who may be looking for a primary care physician, as filing a complaint with Arizona Medical Board is a long and arduous process and patients seldom check that website. If you are currently under his care, insist on having a female chaperone present during examinations from now on. If you are female and looking for a doctor, look elsewhere. If you are trusting this physician to care for an elderly female relative and cannot be in the room during every exam, my advice would be seek care elsewhere.
