- Dr. Lena
Born and raised in Orange County, Dr. Nguyen completed her undergraduate studies at the University of California, Irvine, and earned her medical degree from Western University of Health Sciences in Pomona. During medical school, she discovered her calling in women’s health, which led her to specialize in obstetrics and gynecology. She also participated in a humanitarian mission to Vietnam, serving as a translator for patients and surgeons—a formative experience that deepened her commitment to culturally sensitive care. Dr. Nguyen completed her residency training at Rutgers University in New Jersey. After a few brisk East Coast winters, she returned home to Southern California.
Dr. Nguyen is fluent in English and Vietnamese. Outside of medicine, she enjoys Southern California’s great outdoors—hiking, camping, and surfing—as well as attending concerts and traveling with friends and family.
