Meet Our Friendly Staff
Dr. Lethuy Nguyen O.D. ( goes by Tanya)
Dr. Lethuy Nguyen O.D., known to her patients as Dr. Tanya, has been practicing Optometry for almost 25 years. Upon graduating from Optometry school, she opened a solo practice in Westminster, CA where she worked for 15 years. There was a high demand for vision care among the patient population in the area and her practice quickly became a success in the community.
In 2003, Dr. Nguyen O.D. opened another location in Irvine, CA to be near her growing children. At the time, her 3 sons were aged 8, 5, and 6 months and her priority was to balance her time with work and family. During lunch, she would volunteer her time at her kids' elementary school because she felt that, as a parent, it was important for her to contribute time to their education. She continued to enjoy Optometry for another 4 years in her neighborhood and then sold both practices to join an Ophthalmology group in Diamond Bar and Chino. Dr. Nguyen O.D. is very passionate about helping patients with deteriorating vision maintain their sight. During this time, she joined Southern California College of Optometry as a part-time associate professor. |
Wanting to share all of the experiences of both Optometry and Ophthalmology, she recently decided to leave the Ophthalmology practice and in 2014 took ownership of Mintz Family Optometry. Dr. Tanya appreciated that the office was family oriented and could see that patients felt at home with the staff who knew them by name.
