Dr. Yvonne Nguyen

Before medicine, I completed a pharmacy degree with First Class Honours and worked as a registered pharmacist, including part-time throughout medical school. That grounding in how drugs work informs every treatment decision I make, not by habit or trend, but because the evidence supports it and because it makes sense for the person in front of me.

I first became interested in dermatology during a scholarship elective at Columbia Presbyterian Hospital in New York. What stayed with me was how much careful clinical examination alone could tell you. That approach, looking closely and thinking clearly, is still central to how I practise.

My training took me across Australia, the United Kingdom, the United States, and Vietnam. I completed a research degree focused on vulval dermatology, trained at some of Australia's busiest teaching hospitals, and was selected for a fellowship at University College Hospital London. I also spent time at the HCMC Dermatology & Venereology Hospital in Ho Chi Minh City, which has both a professional and personal significance for me.

I was awarded Fellowship of the Australasian College of Dermatologists in 2022 and have been in independent specialist practice since.

I see patients at Northern Sydney Dermatology in Northbridge, Central Sydney Dermatology on Macquarie Street in the Sydney CBD, and online via Virtual Dermatology, so wherever you are in Australia, you can access a specialist consultation without leaving home.

I'm a native Vietnamese speaker. Outside of medicine I'm kept busy by my young family, a love of reading, and any chance to travel.

Every patient I see, I see personally.
