Phong Dang  PA-C

Phong Dang, PA-C, has rejoined Optimal Health Associates to provide endocrine care. He has years of experience with diabetes and thyroid management, hormone therapies, and weight management. 

Phong graduated from the physician assistant program at the Oklahoma City University in 2020. He earned his bachelor’s degree from the University of Central Oklahoma. He is originally from Vietnam and moved to the United States at the age of 20. “As a new immigrant, I was fascinated with advanced healthcare in the US because we do not have this in Vietnam. I’m interested in endocrinology because I want to understand the pathophysiology of the human body. Diabetes is one of my favorite subjects because you cannot treat every patient the same way. You need to accommodate their lifestyle and habits to develop the best treatment plan for each patient. This reminds me of myself when I came to the United States many years ago. I had to adapt to a new lifestyle and try to overcome the hardship. My goal is to help my patients understand their disease states to better manage their symptoms. I really enjoy spending time with patients, educating them on their conditions, and explaining to them how their disease process works. I want patients to become more confident in allowing me to help treat their diseases.”
