Dr. Hao Nguyen, OD

Dr. Hao Nguyen grew up in Portland, Oregon, completed his undergraduate work at Oregon State University, and earned his Doctor of Optometry at Pacific University College of Optometry before moving to Arizona.

His clinical focus is ocular disease. He is the doctor patients see when an exam turns up glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, or macular changes that need monitoring and management over years rather than a single visit. He also handles cataract and refractive surgery co-management, coordinating the pre-operative workup and the post-operative follow-up so patients are not bounced between offices during recovery.

Dr. Nguyen practices in both English and Vietnamese. For Vietnamese-speaking patients and families in the East Valley, that means discussing a diagnosis, a medication schedule, or a surgical decision in their first language rather than through a family member acting as interpreter.

He also fits specialty contact lenses and works with low vision patients, designing magnification and lighting strategies that keep people reading, driving, and working for as long as possible.

He is a member of the American Optometric Association and the Arizona Optometric Association. Outside the office he travels, hikes, and is steadily working through Arizona's state parks.
