Insurances accepted
Baylor Scott & White has established agreements with several types of insurance to ensure your health needs are covered.
Insurance listings are subject to change without prior notice.
Please call your physician's office or your health or insurance plan to verify coverage information prior to scheduling your visit or procedure. Not all members participating in contracted networks have "in network" access. In network participation may change from time to time without prior notice. Independent providers (which could include, for example only, anesthesiologists, radiologists, pathologists, emergency medicine physicians, advance practice professionals, and other independent providers of health care services) may deliver part of your care, and such providers may be considered out-of-network on your health and insurance plans even if the Facility may be considered in network. If you desire additional information as to the providers who may be involved in providing your care, you can either ask your treating provider (who may know some of the specialists or groups who could be involved) or you can request a list of Facility-based physician groups by calling the following toll free number: (877) 810-0372. This list is updated annually and is subject to change without prior notice.
Please contact your provider to confirm if your insurance is accepted.

Patients appreciate
Dr. Derrick Nguyen consistently receives exceptional praise for his compassionate, patient-centered approach to care. Patients repeatedly highlight his excellent listening skills, noting that he takes time to address all concerns without rushing through appointments. His ability to explain complex medical information in understandable terms is frequently commended, as is his thoroughness in reviewing test results and lab work with patients. Many reviews emphasize his genuine care and personal interest in patients beyond their diagnosis, with several noting he remembers personal details about their lives and families. His bedside manner, professionalism, and dedication stand out prominently, with patients describing him as kind, caring, friendly, and compassionate. As an oncologist, he is particularly praised for his expertise in cancer care, his ability to deliver difficult news with grace and empathy, and his commitment to involving patients in treatment decisions.

Patients also share
A small number of patients noted minor areas for improvement. A few reviewers mentioned that Dr. Nguyen speaks very quickly, which occasionally makes it difficult to follow or fully absorb information during appointments. One patient wished he would explain medical concepts more consistently in layman's terms rather than using technical jargon. Another patient expressed disappointment that their visit felt more like a repetition of lab results without learning new information or experiencing a more proactive approach to care. One review mentioned that while the doctor was excellent, the wait time could be improved, though this was an isolated comment.
