I am a Board certified dermatologist and fellowship trained Mohs micrographic and dermatologic surgeon who specializes in the surgical and non-surgical management of high-risk skin cancers and skin cancers in immunosuppressed patients. I completed my medical school at Stanford University School of Medicine, residency at University of California-San Diego, fellowship at Brigham & Women’s Hospital, and Master of Public Health at the Harvard School of Public Health.
I grew up in Vietnam until the age of 12 when my family immigrated to the United States. We have lived in various towns in California, New York, Maryland, and Washington since then. I still speak Vietnamese, though not as well as I’d like, and like to practice with my patients whenever possible.
My professional goal is to provide timely, patient-centered and effective care for patients with skin cancers, particularly those with difficult to manage tumors, multiple tumors or high-risk of developing new tumors in the future. I want to contribute to the redesign of our healthcare system to improve access to care, efficiency of care delivery and clinical outcomes for our patients. My personal goal is live life to its fullest potential and be happy with myself and my family.
