Upon eturning to practice in Houston in 2012, Dr. Nguyen started to recognize a pattern of allergic inflammation that were not just limited to areas that patients have the most sensations like in the nose, sinuses or skin. In fact, inflammation and allergies involvement seem to be more systemic affecting many body organs such as the lower airways, gut, and bladder. Furthermore, the complications of systemic inflammation seem to present at a much faster pace and more severe in populations who originally migrated from tropical regions of the world where wind-pollinated trees are uncommon. Therefore, treating allergies as a systemic inflammatory condition including detecting and controlling early lungs inflammation have been aggressively pursued at Texas Allergy Group. 

Dr. Nguyen enjoys taking care of both children and adults with asthma, hay fever, chronic sinusitis, chronic cough, chronic hives, angioedema and various allergic diseases such as food allergy, insect, drug allergies, and diseases relating to systemic allergic inflammation. He is especially passionate in his treatment of patients with severe eczema, asthma, hives and primary immunodeficiency to help improve their quality of life.
