8 Saigon Clinics With Affordable, Professional Healthcare Services & Checkups To Keep You Fighting Fit

Clinics in Saigon


When it comes to finding a place for health checkups or treatment for minor injuries, none of us enjoys a long queue and dealing with all types of red tape and delays that can exhaust us physically and mentally. For this reason, many in Saigon prefer private clinics with smaller sizes, fewer crowds, and more attentive service for extra privacy and convenience.

Even though private Saigon clinics tend to charge higher fees than public hospitals, the ease and comfort that they bring can be worth the extra money. To help you make informed decisions when looking for the most suitable clinic for your needs and budget, we’ve rounded up 8 Saigon clinics with affordable and professional healthcare services. 


1. Nhi Dong Pediatric Clinic – affordable pediatric care

With a healthy nervous system, kids are able to focus better in school, maintain an active lifestyle, and respond quickly to stimuli in their environment to keep themselves safe.

The doctors here also examine and diagnose children who experience problems with hearing, breathing patterns, and digestive functions.

For extra care, parents will also receive advice on how to manage their children’s health and when to send them to hospital for advanced treatment.

When your children need non-emergency diagnosis and treatment, parents can seek remote help from doctors via online platforms such as Zalo, Viber, and Messenger at any time of the day.

You can easily find all kinds of beauty salons and weight loss clinics in Vietnam offering weight loss treatment for women, but hardly any for men. For this reason, some Vietnamese men may feel alone in their battles with weight loss and think that the only way to lose weight is working out.

However, a rigid workout routine and stringent diet regimen doesn’t work the same way for everyone. The good news is that men with obesity and diets can now check out Americare Clinic, a clinic in Saigon that specializes in weight loss treatment for men. 


Image adapted from: Americare Clinic

At Americare Clinic, visitors will be guided to SculpSure, a laser-based and noninvasive treatment that helps eliminate fat from various body areas.

Because this is a nonsurgical treatment, which takes only 25 minutes on average per procedure, patients will not have to undergo anesthesia.

During the procedure, one or multiple hands-free heat lasers will be placed on your body’s fat-built areas to destroy fat cells.  

Results may vary, but the effects of the SculpSure treatment are said to be visible after 3 to 4 procedures. 

Address: 130/1 Ba Thang Hai, Ward 12, District 10, Ho Chi Minh City
Opening hours: 9AM-7PM, Daily
