[ About ]

An unconventional path, a humane medicine.

A general practitioner since 2016, Dr Andrew Bui-Nguyen divides his week between a family medicine group (GMF) in downtown Montreal, the intensive care unit of a rural hospital in the Laurentians, aesthetic medicine and sexual health. He is also a physician-psychotherapist and a co-founder of Les Moires. With, somewhere along the way, a year of film in New Zealand.

[ The path ]

The chapters that explain the way he works.

  1. An older, age-spotted hand rests in the open palm of a younger hand, on a cream wool blanket

    Family medicine

    A general practitioner since 2016, in a family medicine group (GMF) in downtown Montreal. The foundation of the practice: follow-up over time, a relationship built from one appointment to the next, and a reading of the whole person rather than a single reason for consulting.

  2. A stethoscope hanging from a hook by a window at dawn, a red maple branch against the glass and wooded hills in the distance

    Rural intensive care

    Still part-time in the intensive care unit of a rural hospital in the Laurentians. Where decisions are made fast and mistakes are costly, you keep to a method: assess before acting, measure rather than estimate, stay calm when the situation isn’t.

  3. An old film reel on a mossy rock among ferns, in front of a glacial valley and snow-capped peaks at dusk
    03

    A year of film in New Zealand

    A detour that isn’t one. Film teaches you to look — at light, at proportions, at what keeps a face recognizable. That is the eye he brings to aesthetic medicine, which aims for a natural result.

  4. On a worn wooden table, a steaming mug, a bowl of clementines and an orange kit resting on a folded blanket
    04

    Addiction and marginalized communities

    Drug addiction, problematic substance use, STBBIs, HIV and chronic hepatitis — in clinics as well as in prison, at the Joliette Institution for Women. Harm reduction rather than moralizing.

  5. Close-up of a shoulder and collarbone bared by a pink sweater, a hand with magenta nails and a silver ring resting on the chest
    05

    Sexual health and trans-affirming medicine

    Gender-affirming care offered in primary care. Confidential assessment, hormone therapy, surgical referral and intimate procedures — straightforward and without awkwardness.

  6. Overhead view of a lilac tray: amber dropper bottles, a jade roller, a quartz crystal, a folded white towel and a sprig of eucalyptus
    06

    Aesthetic medicine

    Injectables, biostimulators and skin health protocols, planned around each person’s anatomy. The goal is never transformation: it is a rested version of yourself.

    Psychotherapy and psychedelics

    A physician-psychotherapist trained with MAPS and TheraPsil, and a co-founder of Les Moires. A structured, medically supervised setting for mood disorders that resist conventional treatments. An approach still under study, offered case by case.

[ The approach ]

A clinic doesn’t have to be cold to be serious.

Medical rigour and warmth are not mutually exclusive. What changes here is the starting point: no one has to justify themselves, translate their lived experience or negotiate their place before care is discussed.

Marginalized communities

Drug addiction, sex work, homelessness, precarity. Realities that need no justifying here.

Queer and trans culture

A practice that doesn’t need the context explained before getting started. The vocabulary is already right.

Body diversity

No template, no implicit norm. The starting point is what you want, not a statistical average.
