Finding a dermatologist in Ho Chi Minh City who matches a specific concern is different from choosing a skin clinic. This ranking focuses only on named physicians whose dermatology role, qualifications, workplace and clinical interests can be checked on an official hospital profile. It is designed as a practical shortlist, not evidence that one doctor achieves better outcomes than another.
The doctors below work across international hospitals and a large private general hospital. Some focus on complex medical dermatology, while others publish stronger experience in acne or aesthetic procedures. Confirm the named doctor, location, language, fees and relevant diagnostic or procedural capability before booking.
How we assessed the doctors in this guide
We required an identifiable official profile confirming a current dermatology role in Ho Chi Minh City. We reviewed specialist training, documented interests, consultation setting and languages only when explicitly published. We did not use social-media popularity, before-and-after photographs or commercial package claims as evidence of clinical quality.
This is deliberately separate from Vietnam Clinic’s comparison of dermatology clinics in Ho Chi Minh City. Hospitals and clinics are not ranked entries here; they are the places where each doctor consults. The order reflects the completeness and clinical relevance of published information, breadth of documented practice and usefulness for choosing an appointment.
Medical needs should guide the choice. A changing mole, widespread blistering disease, severe psoriasis or suspected drug reaction may require hospital resources, while straightforward acne or an elective laser consultation may follow another pathway. Rapidly spreading redness, fever with a rash, facial swelling, breathing difficulty or severe blistering requires urgent medical assessment.
The dermatologists on this list
Dang Thi Ngoc Bich
Dr. Dang Thi Ngoc Bich leads Dermatology and Skin Aesthetics at Tam Anh General Hospital HCMC. Her profile records a PhD in medicine, Specialist Level II dermatology training and an earlier Specialist Level I qualification in which she graduated first in her class. It also documents advanced laser and skin-procedure training at Mayo Clinic and long service at An Binh Hospital before joining Tam Anh.
Her published work spans clinical protocols, physician training and case reports involving eczema, unusual drug eruptions and other skin disease, alongside laser medicine. The hospital setting and depth of medical-dermatology training make her a useful option when diagnosis and longitudinal management matter as much as a procedure.
Published languages: not stated; confirm directly
Workplace: Tam Anh General Hospital HCMC
Relevant for: medical dermatology, chronic or unusual skin disease and medically assessed laser care
Confirm: consultation language, clinic day and whether the visit is at the hospital or District 7 clinic
Huynh Huy Hoang
Dr. Huynh Huy Hoang is a senior FV dermatologist and a long-serving department head at Ho Chi Minh City Dermatology Hospital, according to FV’s official profile. His qualifications include Specialist Level I dermatology training and a dermatology fellowship in the Philippines.
FV publishes interests in allergy, immunology, paediatric dermatology, dermatopathology, and cosmetic and reconstructive surgery. That combination is particularly relevant when a rash may have an allergic or immune component, when a child needs specialist assessment or when tissue diagnosis is part of the clinical question.
Published languages: Vietnamese and English
Workplace: FV Hospital
Relevant for: allergy-related skin disease, paediatric dermatology, dermatopathology and reconstructive concerns
Confirm: limited weekly schedule and the records needed before consultation
Nguyen Thi Thu Trang
Dr. Nguyen Thi Thu Trang is a dermatologist at Vinmec Central Park International Hospital. Vinmec lists Specialist Level I training in dermatology at Hanoi Medical University and about two decades of experience, including previous hospital and clinic work before joining Vinmec in 2019.
Her published medical scope includes atopic, contact and seborrhoeic dermatitis, psoriasis, acne, urticaria, bacterial and fungal conditions. The profile also lists laser and aesthetic procedures. Patients should distinguish management of an active disease from optional cosmetic treatment and ask what diagnosis supports any proposed device or injectable procedure.
Published languages: not stated; confirm directly
Workplace: Vinmec Central Park International Hospital
Relevant for: common inflammatory or infectious skin disease and hospital-based aesthetic dermatology
Confirm: consultation language, doctor’s schedule and the exact product or device if considering a procedure
Tran Thi Thu Thao
Dr. Tran Thi Thu Thao is the named dermatologist at American International Hospital. AIH lists a Specialist Level I qualification in dermatology from the University of Medicine and Pharmacy at Ho Chi Minh City and training in laser, light-based treatment, minor skin surgery and managing filler complications.
Her official profile places a strong emphasis on high-technology medical aesthetics alongside dermatology. She may therefore be most relevant when a patient wants a dermatologist to assess pigmentation, texture or another concern before an aesthetic intervention. Patients seeking management of psoriasis, suspected cancer or a condition requiring biopsy should confirm AIH’s precise scope before booking.
Published languages: Vietnamese and English
Workplace: American International Hospital
Relevant for: dermatology with a strong medical-aesthetic and laser focus
Confirm: diagnostic scope, biopsy availability and who performs every proposed step
Nguyen Kim Phuong
Dr. Nguyen Kim Phuong has worked in FV Hospital’s Dermatology Department since 2017. FV records Specialist Level I dermatology training at the University of Medicine and Pharmacy at Ho Chi Minh City and an earlier dermatology fellowship at Pham Ngoc Thach University.
Her stated interests are acne, seborrhoeic dermatitis and aesthetic dermatology. This defined scope makes her a practical candidate for persistent acne or oily, inflamed and flaky skin when medical diagnosis is needed before scar treatment or cosmetic procedures. Readers comparing acne-focused facilities can also review the separate guide to acne treatment clinics in Ho Chi Minh City.
Published languages: Vietnamese, English and French
Workplace: FV Hospital
Relevant for: acne, seborrhoeic dermatitis and medically supervised aesthetic dermatology
Confirm: active-acne plan, medicine monitoring and when scar procedures would be appropriate
Nguyen Thi Ngoc My
Dr. Nguyen Thi Ngoc My is a senior consultant at FV and Ho Chi Minh City Dermatology Hospital. Her FV profile lists Specialist Level I and II dermatology qualifications and a Master of Science in Medicine.
The published interests are acne, contact dermatitis and superficial fungal infection. Those areas are common in a hot, humid city but require different treatment: exposure history can be central to contact dermatitis, while suspected fungal disease may need confirmation rather than empirical use of mixed creams. Her profile publishes only limited weekly sessions, so availability should be checked early.
Published languages: Vietnamese, English and French
Workplace: FV Hospital
Relevant for: acne, contact dermatitis and superficial fungal disease
Confirm: current clinic sessions and whether patch testing or fungal testing is indicated and available
Huynh Cong Tri
Dr. Huynh Cong Tri works in Dermatology and Skin Aesthetics at Tam Anh General Hospital HCMC. His hospital profile records a medical degree and a master’s degree in dermatology from the University of Medicine and Pharmacy at Ho Chi Minh City, followed by practical work at Ho Chi Minh City Dermatology Hospital.
His additional certificates cover laser and light applications, botulinum toxin, fillers and basic skin-care techniques. He may suit patients seeking a newer-generation dermatologist for common skin disease or medical-aesthetic assessment, but the indication, alternatives and person performing each procedure should be explicit before consent.
Published languages: not stated; confirm directly
Workplace: Tam Anh General Hospital HCMC
Relevant for: general dermatology and assessment before laser or injectable procedures
Confirm: language, current clinic, procedure operator, total course and follow-up
What to confirm before booking a dermatologist in Ho Chi Minh City
Begin with the clinical question rather than a treatment brand. A persistent rash, changing mole, hair loss, nail change, infection or severe acne needs diagnosis before a package is selected. Ask whether the doctor regularly treats that concern and whether the facility can provide dermoscopy, biopsy, allergy testing, fungal testing or coordinated care if clinically needed.
Confirm the named doctor, location and language in writing. Several hospitals have multiple buildings or clinics, and an international brand does not mean every consultation is available in English. International patients can compare hospital access, emergency cover and insurance procedures in our guide to international hospitals in Ho Chi Minh City.
For lasers, injections or other elective procedures, request the diagnosis, simpler alternatives, product or device, operator, realistic number of sessions, downtime, total cost and complication plan. Disclose pregnancy, allergies, immune disease, current medicines and previous procedures. Our overview of how Vietnam’s healthcare system works explains the practical differences between public hospitals, private hospitals and outpatient clinics. A sound appointment should produce a clear diagnostic or treatment plan and a route for follow-up, not pressure to buy a package immediately.
Dr. Guillaume Orieux heads FV Hospital’s Dermatology Department. FV lists a dermatology and venereology specialist qualification from Paris VII, medical training at Paris VI and additional training in surgical treatment of skin tumours. His published interests include psoriasis and phototherapy, blistering diseases, skin cancer, pigmentation, paediatric dermatology, sexually transmitted infections, laser treatment and cosmetic dermatology.
His profile documents dermatology work in France, the United Kingdom and Vietnam and states that he has headed FV’s department since 2009. This breadth makes him especially relevant when the concern goes beyond routine cosmetic care, although the hospital should confirm that his current clinic accepts the specific condition.
