About Dr. Wirths
On January 1, 2015, Fore Your Health Family Doctor opened its doors. After two months, Dr. Phuong Wirths, D.O. and his staff moved to their new location in Curwensville and are
currently accepting new patients.
Coming To America
1981 was a year of significant change for Phuong T. Nguyen. He would escape his country of birth and be referred to as "one of those boat people that escaped Vietnam." He would soon be transferred to the Philippines, where he waited to be assigned a home.
​
After one full year, his dream of coming to the United States had come true. Catholic Social Services worked with child refugees and provided a foster home in New Jersey for Phuong. After five years, he became a citizen of the United States and changed his last name to Wirths, after his foster father, Wallace Wirths.
Education
Years quickly passed as Phuong excelled in middle school and high school in Sussex, New Jersey. He attended college at the University of Scranton in Scranton, PA, and graduated in 1991 with a degree in biology.
He met his wife, Debbie, at the U of S, and they got married in 1995 upon his graduation from Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medical School. Yet another dream — becoming a doctor — had come true.

Phuong and Debbie stayed in the Philadelphia area while Phuong completed his residency training in Allentown, PA. Then in 1998, Phuong was offered his first job as a family practice physician for DuBois Regional Medical Center in DuBois, PA. He was assigned an office in Grampian, PA.
