With around 9.6 lakh (964,000) people (2025 estimate, from Census 2011 scaled forward with a growth factor, so treat it as approximate), Dehradun is number 73 among the 100 largest cities in this directory and sits in the Small (<1M) size band. At the assumed growth of 2.2% a year, it would reach about 1.1 million by 2030, so demand for dermatologists and every other speciality is likely to keep rising.
Scaling Uttarakhand's 2.09 beds per 1,000 people (the India-wide figure is about 1.39) to the city's population gives roughly 2,000 hospital beds in Dehradun, including about 100 ICU beds, spread across an estimated 110 hospitals (about 39 public and 70 private). That is about 478 residents for every bed and around 18 beds per hospital on average. Measured against the WHO's often-quoted benchmark of 3 beds per 1,000 people, the city would need roughly 880 more beds, which is one reason private clinics and hospitals carry so much of the load.
The same national ratio of one practising doctor per 811 people suggests about 1,200 practising doctors across all systems of medicine in Dehradun, supported by around 2,100 nurses and midwives. A dermatologist is one of many specialities within that total. Specialist head-counts are not published city by city, so these figures show scale, not how many dermatologists practise in Dehradun.
On health outcomes, Uttarakhand's infant mortality rate is 19 per 1,000 live births (2024), well below the national figure of 24, and modelled life expectancy is about 72.0 years against roughly 72 for India; these are state-wide measures, not city measurements. About 64% of hospital beds in Uttarakhand are private, so most people weigh private dermatologists against government outpatient departments. This page lists 1 dermatologist for Dehradun.

How to choose a dermatologist in Dehradun
- Check the qualification: MBBS with MD (Dermatology, Venereology & Leprosy), DDVL or DNB.
- Verify registration with the NMC / State Medical Council register and note the registration number.
- Ask what the consultation includes and whether tests, follow-ups and procedures are charged separately.
- Look for clear, itemised communication about costs; avoid anyone who guarantees a cure.
- Check practical details: location, clinic hours, appointment system, and whether emergency back-up exists if something goes wrong.
"Cosmetologist" is not a protected medical qualification. For medical skin and hair problems look for a registered dermatologist (MD/DDVL/DNB).

Frequently asked questions: Dermatologists in Dehradun
Who is the best dermatologist in Dehradun?
There is no single best doctor for everyone: the right choice depends on your condition, budget and location. A good approach is to shortlist two or three dermatologists, check their qualification and registration with the NMC / State Medical Council register, and compare facilities and communication. On this page, Skin Station by Dr Deepti Dhingra (1st Floor, Bindal Tiraha, Bindal Tower, Chakrata Rd, near Bindal Bridge, Bindaal Tirahya, Khurbura Mohalla, Dehradun, Uttarakhand 248001) is one listed option - confirm details by phone before you visit.
How can I book an appointment with a dermatologist in Dehradun?
Call the clinic or hospital number shown on the listing, use WhatsApp where it is shown, or visit during outpatient hours. Ask about the consultation fee, whether an appointment is needed, and which documents or earlier reports to bring.
How much does a dermatologist consultation cost in Dehradun?
Fees depend on the doctor's experience, the type of facility and the tests or procedures involved, and we do not publish unverified prices. Ask the clinic for the consultation fee and any follow-up charges when you call; government hospitals generally charge much less than private clinics.
Which hospitals in Dehradun offer dermatologist services?
Well-known hospitals and institutions often named for Dehradun include Govt Doon Medical College and AIIMS Rishikesh (nearby), and the city also has many other hospitals and clinics. Each has its own outpatient timings and departments, so check availability for dermatologist services directly before you go. This is general information, not a complete directory.
How do I know if I should see a dermatologist for acne in Dehradun?
If acne is painful, leaves marks, covers the chest or back, or has not improved after a few weeks of gentle skincare, a dermatologist can prescribe the right treatment and help prevent scarring. Self-medicating with steroid creams often makes skin problems worse.
Is hair loss treated by a dermatologist?
Yes. Dermatologists diagnose the type of hair loss, order blood tests for causes such as thyroid problems or low iron, and suggest medical treatments or procedures. Treatment usually needs a few months before results are visible.
Can skin problems be linked to other health conditions?
Sometimes. Persistent itching, dark patches or recurrent infections can be connected to diabetes, thyroid disease or nutritional deficiencies, so a dermatologist may suggest blood tests alongside skin treatment.
How many hospital beds does Dehradun have?
No public source counts beds city by city. Scaling state data to the city population gives an estimate of about 2,000 beds (around 100 ICU beds) for Dehradun. Treat it as a rough guide rather than an official count.
