Meet Dr. Tea Nguyen

Dr Tea Family on the beach

I am a mother, wife, and podiatrist. I believe in treating patients as a whole human being and that the patient-physician relationship is sacred. Having worked in the traditional insurance model I realized that this system wasn’t working for me or my patients anymore. I wanted to spend more time with patients and give them treatments in a timely manner. However, being tethered with a third-party payor made that impossible. So in 2018, I decided to open my own medical office in Freedom, CA – the same year my daughter was born.

My biggest supporter is my husband, Dr. Paul Nguyen, who specializes in bariatric surgery. And my smallest supporter (in size but not in heart) is my daughter Vylet, who gives me energy and hope to a better future. My husband and I dedicated over a decade in medical training, just so we can help improve our community’s health.

I created Pacific Point Podiatry to deliver medical care in a more personalized way. When you become my patient, I hope you feel comfortable, that you are never rushed, and feel cared for. I built this practice with the same attention to detail that I give to my daughter, with my whole heart and sole (you know I can’t hold back from a good pun!).

Thank you for visiting and welcome to Pacific Point Podiatry.

With love always,
Dr. Tea
