Bao C. Nguyen, M.D.

Bao Nguyen, M.D., embraces a philosophy of care that puts listening first. He is dedicated to treating patients equitably and ensuring that their concerns are addressed, and relishes challenging cases that call for him to think through the solutions that will best serve his patients. Because Dr. Nguyen has close family members who have been affected by cancer, the chance to serve patients at City of Hope is very special to him. He counts among his formative educational experiences an apprenticeship in a University of Southern California research lab where he handled electron microscope imaging. After graduating cum laude from the Creighton University School of Medicine, Dr. Nguyen pursued a residency in diagnostic radiology and a fellowship in musculoskeletal radiology at the University of Iowa. This was followed by a supplemental fellowship at Marin Radiology in San Francisco focusing on musculoskeletal radiology and spinal pain injections. Originally from Los Angeles County, Dr. Nguyen is fluent in Vietnamese. Outside of work, he enjoys spending time with family, especially his wife and kids.
