about us

Central Dermatology is a collaborative skin care and treatment practice which brings together six Malaysian dermatologists who share a collective vision of providing professional, incisive and empathetic medical care.

As one of Malaysia’s most ethnically and multiculturally diverse dermatology practices, Central Dermatology was founded with the objective of giving patients access to the best dermatological care, by doctors who are fluent in all major languages and dialects of the country, as we believe the ability to converse in a language familiar to a patient assists in proper diagnosis and improves treatment outcomes.

Our clinic is designed to be a safe-space for all ages, genders and sexual orientations, a place free of prejudice and partiality. Our ultimate goal is to ensure education, care and treatment to under-served communities and marginalized groups.
