A family business, for families like yours

The hospital visit isn't the hard part.
Finding the right one is.

We get foreigners and their families into the right care in Vietnam: public hospitals, independent specialists, and everything that falls between providers.

FAMILY, ANYWHERE CARE, IN VIETNAM

We started Waypoint because we were already doing this for our own parents. One of us managed appointments and hospital visits in Vietnam, and the other checked in anxiously from a screen thousands of miles away. We built the service we wished we'd had, so other families wouldn't have to figure it out alone the way we did.

Co-founder

Trang Duong

Software engineer at Oracle, based in the US. Started Waypoint after years of watching my own parents navigate care back home from thousands of miles away, and wanting a better way to actually be involved.

Linh Duong

Background in administration and customer care, based in Vietnam. Already manages our own parents' appointments and hospital visits day to day. Waypoint grew out of doing this for our family first.

Why Waypoint

Care shouldn't stop at one hospital's front door

Vietnam has excellent specialists spread across public hospitals, private clinics, and independent practices, not concentrated in any single place. We follow you across all of it, with one coordinator who knows your history the whole way through.

What we cover
  • Public hospitals and independent clinics, with full translation support
  • An independent second opinion from a specialist of your choosing
  • One coordinator, across every provider you use
What that means for you
  • You go wherever the right doctor actually is, not just where it's easy
  • No re-explaining your history at every new visit
  • Someone with you for the waiting, the paperwork, and the follow-up
  • A plain-English summary sent to family, every visit
Services

Whatever the visit is, we're there for it

For one-off needs, or anything that spans more than one stop.

Escort & translation

Public hospital & independent clinic visits

Booking, in-person translation, and an English summary sent within 24 hours, at the facilities that have no international patient desk of their own.

Second opinion

Independent specialist review

We pull your records, translate them, and get them in front of a specialist with no institutional link to the hospital that diagnosed you.

Cross-provider

Multi-provider day

A private hospital visit, a specific pharmacy, a public hospital lab test: one coordinator managing the whole day, not three separate systems.

Ongoing care

For when it's not just one visit

A dedicated coordinator who knows your family's history, not a different desk at every hospital.
