If you were a patient of Dr. Dung Nguyen, we believe you.

For years he was the doctor on East Speedway people saw for a cold, a checkup, blood pressure. In April 2025 a Pima County grand jury indicted him on fourteen counts involving six patients, and by June the count had grown. Tucson police asked anyone else he treated to come forward. If you sat in one of his exam rooms, this page is about you.

7 questions. Your answers are private and go to one person.

This applies to you no matter what

You went in for something ordinary. A cough, a refill, a physical. Police said the reports describe touching during exams "for complaints not related to those areas of the body." That is the pattern, not the exception.
You weren't sure, at the time, that anything was wrong. One of the six women in the first indictment saw him for more than 20 years before she understood it. Nobody here will ask you to explain why it took a while.
Nobody from Arizona Community Physicians or the clinic ever called you. Two people have already gone to court partly over what the practice did and didn't do. Silence from them is not a reason for silence from you.
You are a man. The second indictment describes a male patient among the alleged victims. This page is for you as much as anyone.
Maybe it was 2010. Maybe 2007, and Grace Health and Healing Center isn't even there anymore. Doesn't matter; the indictments go back to January 2007, and a clinic closing changes nothing about who answers.
You are a daughter, a son, a spouse asking for someone who can't. Pick "I'm asking for someone else" up top and keep going; that's what it's there for.

Dr. Dung T. Nguyen: what the public record says, and when

None of what follows is ours. A grand jury said it, the Tucson Police Department said it, the Pima County Clerk's docket says it, and the reporters at the Arizona Daily Star, KOLD, KGUN and KVOA wrote it down. We link every line. Where the word is "alleges" or "charged," that is exactly what it means: Dr. Nguyen has not been convicted of anything and is presumed innocent.

April 29, 2025

The first indictment. A Pima County grand jury hands up 14 counts against Dr. Dung T. Nguyen, 65, osteopathic physician: sexual abuse and sexual assault, six patients. He learns of it at a court appearance the following week, isn't taken into custody, and a case management conference gets set for June 12. KVOA, indictment obtained.

May 13, 2025

Tucson police go public with the indictment. They ask any other patient who may have been affected to call detectives, 520-589-8971, or 88-CRIME. What the women reported, police say, was touching during exams, for complaints that had nothing to do with those parts of the body. The Arizona Daily Star names his practice: Grace Health and Healing Center, 7340 E. Speedway. Arizona Community Physicians CEO Jim Stelzer says Nguyen has been placed on leave. Arizona Daily Star.

May 13, 2025

The full Arizona Community Physicians statement, published by KOLD. It says the group required him to "immediately go on administrative/personal leave and cease all patient visits," and that earlier, "in the initial absence of criminal charges," ACP had taken "internal precautionary actions by requiring specific office procedures related to patient contact and supporting Arizona Osteopathic Board requirements for Dr. Nguyen." The dates in the first indictment, per court documents KOLD cited: January 2018 to April 2024. KOLD, with the indictments.

June 12, 2025

A second indictment, twelve counts this time. Nine felony counts of sexual abuse, two of sexual assault, also felonies, plus one misdemeanor assault count, with the dates alleged running from January 1, 2007 all the way to May 21, 2025. Across both indictments KGUN counts 26. The new counts include a male patient. "No one is above the law," Pima County Attorney Laura Conover had said after the first one. The conduct alleged in each count is in the indictment KOLD published; we don't repeat it here. KGUN 9.

July 1, 2025

KVOA reports 17 alleged victims across the two indictments, including a 76-year-old woman who came in about the flu. The station says it reviewed his license record and that the Arizona Board of Osteopathic Examiners had revoked it because of the criminal charges. Arizona Community Physicians confirms he no longer works there. Grace Health and Healing Center is closed. He remains out of jail. KVOA.

July 8, 2025

The first civil complaint. Eloina Duarte v. Arizona Community Physicians, Grace Health and Healing Center and Dung T.A. Nguyen, Pima County Superior Court No. C20254645. The docket shows a notice of impending dismissal on September 12, 2025 and an order of dismissal on October 28, 2025. The docket doesn't say why, and we won't guess. Pima County Clerk, public record search.

April 14, 2026

A status conference in Pima County Superior Court. KVOA reports he is still facing the indictment counts, with prosecutors saying the first indictment's allegations involve six former patients over several years. No plea, no verdict and no trial date has been publicly reported as of this writing. KVOA.

May 20, 2026

A second civil complaint: Michael Price v. Grace Health & Healing Center, L.L.C. and Dung Nguyen, Pima County Superior Court No. C20263923. Both defendants were served in July, and the defendants filed an answer on July 30, 2026. It is pending. Pima County Clerk, public record search.

Who answers for what Dr. Nguyen is charged with

The criminal case is between the State of Arizona and him. A civil case is different, and it is the part almost nobody tells patients about. It can name the practice. Dr. Nguyen worked under Arizona Community Physicians, a Tucson physician group with about 150 clinicians, and its own website listed him at Grace Health and Healing Center on East Speedway. A medical group is responsible for who it hires, who it keeps, who it lets alone in a room with a patient, and what it does the first time someone complains. That is called negligent hiring, supervision or retention, and it doesn't depend on the criminal case at all.

Here is the sentence a lawyer will read twice. In its own statement, the day the charges became public, ACP said that before any charges were filed it had already put "specific office procedures related to patient contact" in place for him and was "supporting Arizona Osteopathic Board requirements for Dr. Nguyen." When that started, and what prompted it, we don't know. One complaint, filed in Pima County Superior Court in July 2025, named ACP and was later dismissed. Another, filed May 2026 against the clinic entity and Dr. Nguyen, is pending. Whether the practice knew something, and when, is the question a civil case gets to ask under oath.

One more thing. The clinic being closed and his license being gone do not close the door. The entities still exist on paper, and a civil claim is made against them, not against a storefront.

Your deadline: the Arizona statute of limitations for claims like this

Arizona's general rule is short. For an injury to a person, including a claim against a doctor or a medical practice, A.R.S. § 12-542 gives two years from the day the claim "accrues." Two years is not long, and for some people here that clock has already run. But "accrues" is doing a lot of work in that sentence, and it is why nobody should decide on their own that the window has closed.

Arizona counts from when a person knew, or reasonably should have known, that they were hurt and what caused it. Not necessarily the date of the visit. Which puts two very different readers on this one page. Say you understood, right there in the room, what had happened: your two years may have started then, and a visit before the fall of 2024 could already be outside the window. Say instead, like a lot of his patients, you didn't understand it until the charges became public on May 13, 2025. Then a lawyer will likely argue your clock started that day, which lands at about May 13, 2027. Which of those you are is a per-person question. Only a lawyer who has heard your dates can answer it, and the sooner the dates get looked at, the better.

If you were under 18 at the time, a different statute applies: A.R.S. § 12-514 allows a claim to be filed until twelve years after your eighteenth birthday, so until you turn 30. Nothing on this page is legal advice. What it is, is a reason to make one phone call before you decide anything.

Your situation still qualifies even if

You kept going back to him. Most of the people in the indictments did; one saw him for more than 20 years.
You never told anyone. Not a partner, not a friend, not the police when they asked in May 2025.
You aren't certain it counts. Not sure is a perfectly good answer to every question above.
You already gave the police a statement. A criminal case and a civil case are separate roads.
You've moved. Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada, California, anywhere. The claim goes where the visit happened, not where you live now.

Where he worked

Grace Health and Healing Center, 7340 E. Speedway, Tucson (closed) · Arizona Community Physicians, Tucson, his employer at the time of the charges · any earlier office, going back to 2007. If your visit was somewhere we haven't listed, tell us anyway; the indictments reach back eighteen years.

Questions people are asking

How much does it cost to talk to a lawyer about this?

Nothing. Every case is on contingency. The lawyer is paid only out of what is recovered, and if nothing is recovered you owe nothing. Not the call, not the review, not the case itself.

Who is Dr. Dung Nguyen in Tucson?

The doctor at Grace Health and Healing Center, 7340 E. Speedway, on the east side. A D.O., osteopathic, primary care, working under Arizona Community Physicians, and 65 when the charges came. What he's charged with is laid out, dated and linked, in the record above: two Pima County grand jury indictments, April and June 2025, fourteen counts and then twelve more, six patients in the first and dates reaching back to 2007 in the second. Convicted? No. Pending.

Has Dr. Nguyen been convicted?

No. It's still pending in Pima County Superior Court, as of this writing, and the last thing anyone reported publicly was a status conference back in April 2026. There's been no plea deal that we can find. No trial either, and no verdict. If that changes, this page changes within three days.

What's the Arizona statute of limitations for sexual abuse by a doctor?

Two years, for an adult. The statute is A.R.S. § 12-542 and it counts from when the claim accrued, and on that Arizona courts look at when you knew, or should have known, what happened, not just the calendar date of the visit. If you were a minor, A.R.S. § 12-514 runs until twelve years after you turn 18. For a lot of his patients the date that matters most is May 13, 2025, the day the charges became public. Which date is yours, a lawyer decides.

Can I sue Dr. Nguyen or Arizona Community Physicians?

People already have. A complaint went in July 2025 naming Arizona Community Physicians, the clinic and Dr. Nguyen, and got dismissed later on. The second, from May 2026, names the clinic entity and Dr. Nguyen, and it's pending. Whether you can depends on your dates and what happened, which is what the six questions above are for.

Does Dr. Nguyen still have his medical license?

Not according to KVOA. On July 1, 2025 the station reported it had reviewed his license record and that the Arizona Board of Osteopathic Examiners had revoked it because of the criminal charges. We could not pull the Board's own order, so we say it the way the station said it. ACP, for its part, says he no longer works there. The Speedway clinic is closed.

I was a victim, and I waited. Not because I didn't know what happened to me (I knew every day), but because I'd decided it was over, mine to carry, nobody's business. When I finally went looking for a lawyer, the answer came back in two words I'd never thought about: statute of limitations. My time had run out while I was busy getting through it.

What that has cost me since is a long story, and I'll tell you the whole thing in private, if you want it. The short version is the reason my name is on this page: I'm here to help people do what I wish I'd done, which is find out where you stand while the door's still open.
