Send us Fan MailNghi Dang is a Family Physician with over 10 years of experience. He worked in both inpatient and outpatient setting. He was the chief resident during residency and currently the champion for his clinic for quality of care.Nghi was born in Vietnam but grew up in Southern California. Our family moved to the states when he was 7 years old. As an immigrant, Nghi shared the same struggles as many other immigrants with adjusting to a new norm and dealing with bullying, discrimination, and constantly having to self-validate while fighting off depression. Having been in practice for over 10 years as a Family Physician, Nghi have realized that his struggles are shared by many of his patients. As the pandemic progressed, Nghi has seen more and more visits related to mental health in the clinic for both adults and children. Nghi was motivated to do something to help educate children and help start a dialogue between parents and children about mental health. Nghi figured the best way to help educate is through storytelling. Nghi has written a series of short stories that will help highlight mental health issues. Support the show
