She graduated from the University of Pennsylvania in 2000 and holds California optometry license #OPT11481 with NPI #1508857533. Prescriptions for glaucoma drops, anti-inflammatory eye medications, and allergy relief formulations fill at Viet Pharmacy & Medical Supplies, which also carries ocular lubricants and vitamin supplements for macular support. Dr. Nguyen's clinical work at the 92115 Hallmark Plaza office covers progressive lens prescriptions, contact lens fittings, corneal imaging, and refractive assessments. The practice occupies a spot between 69th and 70th Streets on the international dining and commercial corridor east of SDSU, operating as a multi-specialty group with 21 physicians spanning optometry, ophthalmology, and retina subspecialties under the direction of ophthalmologist Barry Katzman, MD. Dr. Nguyen's practice serves a multilingual patient population, and the office provides care in English, Spanish, Tagalog, and Vietnamese. Diabetic retinopathy and glaucoma co-management cases coordinate with primary care physicians such as Brownell Kristin MD in the College Area medical network, ensuring that systemic conditions driving ocular pathology receive parallel treatment. The optical center stocks frames from Oakley, Ray-Ban, and Dolce & Gabbana, with Essilor lens technology including Varilux progressive and Crizal anti-reflective coatings.
