Meet Dr. Joanne Nguyen

Very early in her medical training, Joanne Nguyen, MD, FAAP, FACMG, developed a passion for helping children and families with special health care needs. After completing medical school and residency at UCLA, Dr. Nguyen entered the highly specialized field of clinical genetics. Today, she is a board-certified pediatrician and medical geneticist.

During her career, Dr. Nguyen has been involved in several clinical research studies. She has also earned multiple teaching and doctor awards. But the most important and rewarding aspect for her is providing compassionate care for families who oftentimes have challenging, rare or unknown diagnoses. They are the reason she went into medicine and why she enjoys the exciting and ever-growing field of genetics.

Outside of her medical practice, she enjoys traveling to beach and snow destinations with her husband and three children.
