Dr. Alexander Nguyen is a non-operative, primary care sports medicine specialist for Memorial Healthcare System. He received fellowship training at PeaceHealth Southwest Medical Center prior to joining Memorial 18 months ago.

Dr. Nguyen primarily focuses on overuse and sports injuries, muscle strains/sprains, tendon injuries, joint pain, and arthritis. “I primarily utilize ultrasound guided injections, regenerative, and lifestyle medicine, but have found it’s especially helpful to work in a multi-specialty system like Memorial that I can refer patients within for surgery, if that’s what their injury requires,” said Nguyen.

Dr. Nguyen received a military scholarship and served in the U.S. Air Force for four years, including nearly half that time in Turkey and Afghanistan. “Those are tough situations, being so far from home, but I value the experiences I had. Serving in those conditions, I learned I was capable of a lot more than I had previously thought I was.”
