Life

Outside of the Dental Office,
What Do You Like to Do?

Dr. Nguyen is a first-generation immigrant; his parents came to America from Vietnam when the war ended. He followed in his mom’s footsteps to become a dentist, while his brother followed in their dad’s footsteps to work as an engineer. He also recently got married in 2020 to his lovely wife, Jacqi, who runs her own law firm. They share a beautiful home here in Jacksonville with their dog Piper and cat Barry.

When he isn’t busy at the dental office, Dr. Nguyen’s biggest hobbies include mountain biking, practicing photography (he even has a dark room at home), woodworking, furniture making, archery, fishing, paddle boarding, and traveling.
