My name is valerie, I was talon's mother. Dr. Nguyen has been on my mind consistently over the last several years. Dr. Nguyen had a big impact on our lives and I am shocked to hear of her passing. She always seemed satisfied and at peace with herself. Ironically, she had many, many patients within her care who struggled to reach that goal. What a difficult task. Godspeed.
