Nghia Truong, MD, is a board-certified internal medicine physician at the UT Health East Texas Physicians on Fifth Street in Tyler. In his practice, Dr. Truong makes it a personal goal to form strong relationships with his patients and their families. “When I get to know my patients, I understand where they’re coming from, so I am able to give them better care.”
Dr. Truong has practiced medicine at UT Health East Texas since 1997. Although he is not originally from East Texas, his time spent living in Tyler has given him the ability to make connections with his local patients, cultivating the relationships necessary for him to successfully care for his patients. “I really like seeing my patients get better. I feel rewarded every day.”
Dr. Truong is employed as a clinical faculty physician at the University of Texas Health Science Center at Tyler under the UT Tyler School of Medicine.
