Dr. Duong was born in Saigon, Vietnam, and arrived with his family in the United States as war refugees. He grew up in Knoxville, TN, as the eldest of three children.

Patient Reviews
Always friendly, prompt and professional. I highly recommend you consider visiting Dr Duong should you ever need to see a urology specialist.
I have been a patient of Dr.Duong @ Urology Associates since 2020. It started as being unhappy with care being provided by another Physician & needing a 2nd opinion. I’m so thankful I did. Not only did Dr.Duong find the cause of my condition, he & his excellent staff have provided me with the care I need to manage my health and stay focused on getting better results. I have been provided with answers to my questions and medications to help live with diagnosis. Dr.Duong has made my life easier to live and manage as I age! I now look forward to my visits.
I was at Urology Associates this morning, and from check in till the time I left - it was a most pleasant, reassuring experience. Dr. Duong is not only very knowledgeable and personable, he is a very supportive and encouraging. I greatly admire and appreciate him ...and his staff. Thank you, "Dr. Dave"!
