Tien VO MD is a board-certified Internal Medicine physician, healthcare entrepreneur, community leader, and philanthropist based in El Centro, California. He is the founder and Medical Director of Legacy MD Medical Group, a multi-specialty medical organization that provides comprehensive, community-centered care across the Imperial Valley and Coachella Valley. Dr. Tien Vo is also the founder of EasyAccess Care IPA, an Independent Physician Association that partners with multiple health plans — including Molina, Brand New Day, Astiva, and Clever — to expand healthcare access for underserved populations in Imperial County and beyond. Born in Vietnam, Tien VO MD arrived in the United States in 1992 at the age of 16 as a refugee. He spoke little English and faced enormous cultural and academic challenges. Despite these obstacles, he pursued his dream of becoming a physician with extraordinary determination — enrolling at Magnolia High School while simultaneously taking community college classes at Cypress College to catch up academically. After earning his degree in Biochemistry from the University of California, Riverside, he attended Ross University School of Medicine, earning his Doctor of Medicine (M.D.) degree before completing his Internal Medicine residency at The Brooklyn Hospital Center in New York. The Associated Press famously described him as a “rock star doctor” for his tireless efforts during the COVID-19 pandemic, when he and his wife conducted more than 27,000 coronavirus tests, made house calls to quarantined patients, and delivered meals to those in need.
