I have a wisdom tooth extraction in a few minutes, and the surgeon's surname is: "Nguyen."
How do I pronounce it? Like, "ooyen"?
Please help, my Vietnamese friends.

Ing-WEN

Just say "when".

ENG-Wu-yen

Everywhere I go, always get different responses.
Can I just call him "Dr. N"?
Would that be offensive to the Vietnamese?

My Viet friends pronounce it "new-yen."
But feel free to listen to actual Vietnamese, though in my experience if you're asking you probably can't pronounce it properly anyways.

You can't go wrong with saying "Hello, Doctor" or "Good afternoon, Doctor" or "What's up, Doc?"
Just call him "Doctor", m8.

Trust my advice because i'm French and therefore met several Nguyens.
Anyways you realise he wont give a shit about how you pronounce it right ?

NYEEN

I trust you because you're French, yes.
I just don't want to offend this guy when he's gonna be the one pulling shit out of my mouth while I'm under.

I've always pronounced it noo-in

You could always ask.
"Before I die, would you humor me and teach me how to say your weird last name?"
