"The second removal of the cyst was successful and her follow up was excellent both times. Very patient and thorough in her explanation. Staff is super friendly too."
— Healthgrades reviewer regarding Dr. Ngoc Pham"Wouldn't take the time to listen to and understand my issues, just dismissed them away. Instead tried to push me to do an extreme procedure that a previous doctor recommended against due to risks and side effects"
— Vitals reviewer regarding Dr. Chantal Pham"I am so frustrated with Kaiser. I normally don't have a problem but for some reason getting moles looked at or any other dermatology procedure is a pain."

Summary: Santa Clara Valley Medical Center (SCVMC) is a 731-bed public hospital in San Jose, part of Santa Clara Valley Healthcare (with O’Connor, Regional Medical Center, and St. Louise Regional Hospital) and serving as the county’s health care safety net. It offers extensive acute services including adult and pediatric emergency/trauma care, a high-risk NICU, an ACS-verified Burn Trauma Center, Primary Stroke Center, CARF-accredited Rehabilitation Center, and emergency/acute inpatient psychiatric services, plus specialized programs in fields like diabetes, renal care, maternal health, oncology, and critical care. SCVMC is owned/operated by the County of Santa Clara as part of its health system and is a key trauma and specialty care provider in the region. What to know (relevant to dermatology access/coordination): - SCVMC is the regional health system hub; dermatology services may be available through the hospital’s specialty clinics or through its broader county health network. - For specialty dermatology or skin-related care, contact SCVMC via the main lines or the County of Santa Clara Health System to request a dermatology referral or appointment. - Primary contact: scvmc@hhs.sccgov.org; main phone options include (888) 334-1000 or (408) 885-5000. If you’re seeking dermatology-specific details (services, clinics, wait times, or appointment scheduling) I can look for SCVMC dermatology offerings or current clinic schedules.
