Dr Khanh Nguyen MD

Meet Dr. Khana Nguyen

Born in Saigon, Vietnam, Dr. Nguyen came to the United States alone in 1982 as a refugee seeking freedom and the opportunity to fulfill her childhood dream of pursuing a career in medicine. She has practiced internal medicine for over 20 years, with the last 10 years in Austin, Texas.

She received her bachelor's degree in biology from the University of Southern California (USC) and her Medical Doctor degree from Rush Medical College in Chicago, Illinois.

Dr. Nguyen has always been a firm believer in the "whole person" approach to health and treatment modalities, promoting a healthy lifestyle through counseling in diet, exercise, sleep and meditation. These beliefs are what led her to discover regenerative medicine, which focuses on using your own body's biologics to promote repair, restoration and regeneration.

Since she promotes an active, happy, and healthy lifestyle and became very interested in the relatively new field of regenerative aesthetics. These leading-edge, safe, natural and effective procedures allow patients to look and feel their best to match their inner younger feelings with all available anti-aging therapies.

Within a short time, Dr. Nguyen has become a local and national authority in the fields of Regenerative Medicine and Regenerative Aesthetics through teaching other healthcare providers, public speaking, seminars, and participating in various ongoing research studies.
