Tom works as a Business Development Manager at Ditech. com. Eddy is a very busy stay-at-home mom. The Harkay boys; Kevin (age 10), Adam (age 8) and Ryan (age 6) are all students at St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic School. They recently added two new puppies to their household, a Maltese Terrier named Bruno and Shih-Tzu named Rusty. The Harkays have also been very busy landscaping their front yard, lining the beds with decorative rock and adding a Queen palm, Mediterranean Fan palms, Pygmy Date palms and a Chinese Fan palm. Perhaps they were inspired by my article on palms a few years ago. Their yard also features the following plant specimens: blue agave, yucca plant, saucer magnolia, red pencil cactus, hibiscus, rubber plant, yesterday-today-and tomorrow plant, sweet olive, plumbago, lily-of-the-Nile, Texas sage, star jasmine, verbinum, Texas privet, impatiens, phlox, marigolds, lobelia and Rose of Sharon trees.

Patient Testimonials

Dr. Nguyen is the most hitech-savvy dentist I have ever met. I have been a patient of Dr. Nguyen for 7 years. His ability and knowledge to utilize computer-ized equipment and hi-tech (laser etc.) equipment have amazed me. Dr. Nguyen works hard and do the best for his patients. I highly recommend Dr. Nguyen to be your dentist.

Jason Wong - Houston, TX USA

I can honestly state that my 12 year old twins truly enjoy their visits to the dentist. Dr. Nguyen is a wonderful dentist and has the nicest staff. He is very intelligent, patient and has state of the art equip-ment. We have been coming to his offi ce for over 5 years and have always received nothing but the best in service. I have and will continue to recommend Dr. Nguyen to other family members and friends.
