“I came here as a refugee and can relate to our patients’ struggles”

“ I love my work as a family physician at Saban. I came here as a refugee from Vietnam and so I can relate to the struggles of patients who cannot afford food or medications. When I first arrived in California I picked strawberries and did sewing in a sweat shop to survive.

Now I am part of a unique community of doctors who are committed to helping the underserved. We provide quality care, listen, empower and try to be role models. We see that being positive will change your life! I choose to practice medicine here, despite a 2 ½ hour commute, because I love what we do.”
