About Dr. Huong-Trinh NguyenHuong-Trinh Nguyen, O.D. received her Doctor of Optometry from the University of Houston College of Optometry in 1997, and earned her Bachelor of Arts in Biology from Southwestern University. She began practicing optometry in 1997 and is a licensed Therapeutic Optometrist and an Optometric Glaucoma Specialist. After moving to Boerne in 1999 with her optometrist husband, Dr. Joseph Arrieta, she was a relief doctor at various optometric offices until joining a commercial practice in San Antonio. In 2002, she accepted a contract position at Brooke Army Medical Center (BAMC) and the Fort Sam Optometry Clinic where she provided full-scope optometric care to retirees, dependents, and active-duty service members for 11 years. Dr. Nguyen was born in Saigon, Vietnam, and immigrated to the U.S. in 1975. She says her own history of strabismus since the age of 4, along with surgery at age 18, played a part in her decision to become an optometrist. Dr. Nguyen especially values the time spent getting to know her patients and cultivating strong relationships that help her solve their individual eye care needs. In her free time away from the office, Dr. Nguyen loves spending time with family and friends, cooking, watching movies, and doing arts and crafts projects. She also enjoys volunteering at St. Peter the Apostle Catholic Church through their various ministries.show more
