Plastic Surgeon Cassie Nghiem, MD

Dr. Cassie Nghiem is a fellowship-trained aesthetic plastic surgeon who specializes in elegant, natural results for women, mothers, and members of the LGBTQ+ community. Known for her quiet confidence and affirming care, she blends deep surgical training with a compassionate, modern approach to beauty.

As a first-generation Vietnamese-American, Dr. Nghiem brings cultural fluency, warmth, and a deeply personal perspective to every patient interaction. Her calm, conversational style makes patients feel at ease—especially those navigating sensitive procedures or seeing a plastic surgeon for the first time. She believes that great results don’t have to be loud or dramatic. Her philosophy centers on subtle enhancements that honor the patient’s individuality while restoring confidence in a way that feels effortless and authentic.

Outside the operating room, Dr. Nghiem enjoys traveling and exploring new cultures. One of her most meaningful experiences was returning to Vietnam on a surgical mission trip—her first visit since immigrating to the U.S.—where she provided life-changing care and reconnected with her roots. When she’s not working, she enjoys quiet weekends, trying new restaurants, and spending time with her mini Bernedoodle, Grayson.
