Does anyone have any experience with Dr. Tran and his office staff, and their general procedures? Is it usually a long wait in the office?

Both my husband and I have been patients of Dr Tran for about 3 yrs now and have always been very happy with the Doctor, his staff, and have never waited beyond a few minutes of appt time. My husband had a couple of minor procedures done and we were very pleased with the care and follow-up. Very thorough.

Hubby Bill has been a patient of Dr. Tran for about two years now and is completely satisfied with the doctor and his very efficient staff. No long waiting and follow-up is excellent. Would highly recommend this service.

My lovely bride has used Dr. Tram for a few years now and been quite pleased with the service and the treatment. I guess I'm going to have to bite the bullet myself and make an appointment there soon for myself - nothing major, just a tune up, make sure a few new age spots are just that and nothing else.

I had a 1 PM appointment with Dr Tran today and did not get in to see her until 2:30. At 1:30 I asked what was the holdup and they said she was busy and I had three people in front of me.

Go figure. I was just getting ready to walk out when my buzzer went off.

Are we talking about the same doctor or did he/she have a sex change recently?

Just to clear up the confusion, I believe that there now is a "Mrs Dr Tran"...and just for the record, my previous post comments are in regard to "Mr Dr Tran".

Dr. Lily Tran is a Gastroenterologist; Dr. Thi Tran is a Dermatologist. They are husband and wife, but have two different practices.

I've been going to Dr. Tran's office for a couple of years. The first time I went I saw Dr. Tran, now I see his P.A., Phil. She's wonderful & very compassionate. I've have a few minor procedures done by her. I've never waited more than 10 minutes for my appt.

Never waited long but always the same story. They cut no matter what and usually where I cannot see the area. I have only had a procedure by Dt. Ta\ran once and it was a problem that I suspected and had nothing to do with there failed exam.
I would prefer to go to a Dr. that you see and not some PA that is just there to cut no matter what.

First of all Dr. Tran is a man and second of all you probably had an appt with the PA. Unfortunately some time the patient in front of you had several areas of concern and in that case biopsies are done right at the time of the appt and they do take time to do so that delays the patients afterwards. This happens with patients who are coming in for the first time so the doctor has no history on them. If you had a problem you would want the doctor to take his time and get everything so you don't have to make 4 or 5 trips back.

I don't know where people get their information but Dr. Lily Tran and Dr. Thi Tran are not even related let alone husband and wife.

Dr. Thi Tran's wife's name is Emma and they have three children. So before someone writes something down make sure it's true

Dr. T Tran, the dermatologist is a specialist in MOHS surgery.
The routine dermatology appointments are handled by the PA's. If there is anything suspect they will call him in. Also if you ask to see him he will stop in, in between surgery patients.

Dr. Tran does his own pathology work during the MOHS process, which in my opinion is a plus.

I have had MOHS done before moving to TV and my wife has had it done by another surgeon here. And in my opinion Dr. Tran and his staff are the best. Very patient oriented and focused.

Appointments are almost always relatively on time.

My skin is so unstable that I am constantly producing new lesions. My entire body is gone over with a fine tooth comb every three months, and yes, there are always several biopsies. These specimens are sent to an independent lab for analysis, and consistently half to three-quarters of what the PA at Dr. Tran's office removes turn out to be on their way to becoming malignant.

Between my doing this that frequently AND the knowledge of the PA, of late the biopsies of the "bad" ones leave clean margins, so there is no need for further surgery. When something has managed to grow very quickly during the three months—and if the margins are not clean—that's when I get scheduled for surgery with the doctor.

Given that I could easily have been dead years ago from this bad stuff, I am very, very grateful to Dr. Tran, the PA, and the staff and highly recommend the practice. We live in FLORIDA, for goodness sakes: THE SUNSHINE STATE!!! Need I say more?

Both my husband and I go to Dr. Tran. We can't say enough about him. Like so many medical facilities here, his office staff could improve their bedside manner but we've had good experiences with Dr. Tran and his assistants. I love "Phil", a PA there. In fact, going to see her tomorrow. My husband just had MOHS surgery by Dr. Tran and he did an outstanding job. We've never had long waits in the office either. I would recommend him highly.

Been going to Dr Tran for 4 years now, after being referred by my family physician. Had some real issues with my ears, and they did biopsy, and then surgery, and everything like new again. I had a job being outside all my life, (mailman) and the problems started then, and then intensified with the Florida sun. (Oh Well) I get a check up every 6 months and also have Phil PA, and she is the nicest person, with a pleasant attitude, who tends to business. Highly recommend the office and the staff

Both my husband and I have been "rescheduled" for biopsies at Dr. Tran's. Also, after a biopsy on my husband's forehead, which came back positive, when he went in to have it frozen off, they got the wrong spot. I caught it when he got home, and they got him back in and got the correct spot, so no problem.

I don't understand why they didn't just go ahead and freeze it off in the first place. I would understand a little more if it's actually surgery.

My mother had MOH's surgery done by Dr. Tran a couple of years ago and was very pleased with his work. Her dermatologist back in Ohio said he had done an excellent job. I need a good dermatologist and wanted to go to him, but they don't accept United Health Care! Go figure...

I and two others have left Dr. Tran as we feel the practice is a well run scam. My brothers Primary also steered brother away with the same conclusion. The PA will cut no matter what and usually an area that is out of site. I had two problems but the PA found neither one until I made a separate appointment and pointed the area on my face that was cancer. They missed it twice. I will never go back and I do not recommend the office.

I went to Dr. Tran's office for a number of years. I almost always had to wait ---and it has gotten worse in recent years. Last time they took five biopsies which turned out to be nothing. Same thing happening to friends. If you go there, they will cut. I found someone else recommended by a friend.

I agree with billethkid. Dr Tran and Phil have saved me from melanoma. That biopsy you think is unnecessary could be the one that changes your life. I go every 90 days and if Phil sees anything remiss, I want it biopsied. I am thankful for Dr. Tran and have full confidence in him and his staff. Philomena is a compassionate, wonderful woman. I owe much to her good eyes.

Well I went one time to Dr. Tran, saw his PA and he had to do MOHS surgery on my back… When I went for the surgery I asked the woman assistant if from now on I could see the Doctor for my appointments she said that "the doctor does not see clinic patients". I never went back…. I have medicare. When it comes to cancer I want to see the physician… be diagnosed by the physician… and do not want to be considered a "lesser" patient because I have medicare.

Having Medicare is not the reason the Nurse Practioner sees you. That happens to be way they operate. Dr. Tran focuses on surgery. You can also ASK to see him....he will stop in between surgeries. I am speaking from personal experience......and have done so more than once.

They do not view you or anybody else as a lessor patient due to being on Medicare. You are entitled to an opinion, however you are incorrect on this one. If one does not like how this office operates, then you should move on to whatever or wherever it is that will make you feel more comfortable......and whole.

Though I've already commented in this thread, I would like to do so again. I completely agree with samhass and billethkid. Medicare has nothing to do with how they structure their office. I never forget that melanoma is for life, which sounds strange, as it is a killer. What I mean is that one is never "cured" of melanoma as one can be of other cancers.

I go back every three months, which is pretty frequent, but my body does tend to produce new lesions constantly, and yes, I've never left the office without several biopsies being done. However, to reiterate, I've never had a series of biopsies that did not result in several being pre-melanoma lesions. I do not consider this "cutting for cutting's sake" (or "cutting for ability to collect more from my insurance company")!

I agree that anyone who is not comfortable with this approach to dealing with skin cancers (who would prefer to wait till the potential for skin cancer is more advanced) should go elsewhere. As far as I'm concerned, I'm still alive after dealing with Clark's Level 3 melanoma thanks to the conscientiousness and knowledge of a PA who singlemindedly does what in my opinion she is supposed to do in terms of "cutting." And I know that the doctor is available when I need him which, thanks to the PA, has become less and less frequent.

My first visit to a different dermatology practice when I moved to TV (my mistake...) was a nightmare, and I've continued to hear horror stories about that practice, even though their setup was the same, with a PA cutting and the MD only when necessary (except there I never got to see the MD). On a recommendation several years ago, I found Village Dermatology (Dr. Tran's practice), and I continue to be extraordinarily grateful to them!

That is a terrible thing to say about a skilled surgeon that has saved many lives in this area. He is a surgeon. Surgeons operate. When your biopsy comes back as dangerous, he is the man that removes all the dangerous margins from your body. How has he scammed ANYONE???? Other doctors refer their surgical patients to Dr. Tran because he is such a reputable surgeon. We are very lucky to have him in The Villages, and I will go to Dr. Tran as long as he has a practice in our area. He is a wonderful surgeon with a compassionate, caring team. Scam, my :cus:. He is the best.

I have seen Dr. Casper and know of Dr. Tran only by comments made by friends. These comments are generally positive. Dr. Casper is my first experience with a dermatologist and he did a total review with several biopsies. None came back positive. I do not consider that he was cutting in order to make a profit. He explained to me, when asked, about each potential irregularity and why they should be tested. I do not have Medicare.

There are doctors and dentists in TV and elsewhere that look to do unnecessary procedures on unsuspecting patients - frequently seniors. The best way to counter this is to educate yourselves on opinion/review websites such as Healthgrades and TOTV, coupled with reading on informational websites such as WebMD to see if your physician is following standard procedures.

I can't speak for Dr. Tran because he is not my Dermatologist. I go to Ocala Dermatology and Skin Cancer Center in their Spruce Creek Office. My doctor is Dr. Philip Barton and he personally sees me each time I visit. He just performed surgery on me and I was very happy with the way he performed the procedure and the after care. If you have problems with Dr. Tran and wish to change doctors, I recommend this office.

As a side note: After the surgery, I was scheduled for post care and an additional procedure 2 days later...a day Dr. Barton was not in the office. A P.A. looked at my surgery site and was uncertain if the additional procedure was actually needed. Another doctor, Dr. Hiller, was called in and he determined I didn't need the additional procedure due to my healing so fast. I'm doing great and my surgical site is almost healed...in just a week's time!

I think not.....sometimes it isn't worth the keystrokes responding to those that have such a lack of scrupples to launch caustic commentary...but I feel a responsibility to not let such venemous commentary go without note.

You are entitled to an opinion....you are not entitled nor qualified to gage a professional like Dr. Tran

As I said earlier, I am a patient of Dr. Tran and staff AND I am a Clark's Level 3 melanoma survivor. I just got the results of my FIVE recent biopsies: THREE mildly dysplastic, ONE moderately dysplastic, and ONE nothing but looked suspicious. These all appeared since my last checkup three months ago. ("Dysplastic" for me means on its way to becoming melanoma.)

Of much less importance, I might add that it is a rarity that I ever wait for more than a few minutes for my appointments.

I'm wondering if the groundless, undocumented, anonymous accusations and criticisms of a doctor named Thi Tran have nothing whatsoever to do with his medical competencies but rather something else....

I used to go to Tran and now Dr. Hilder. Tran was suppose to cut cancer out on my face and now I have a 4" cut as a result of Trans work.He cannot do a proper procedure in 10 minutes as a good doctor does moehs on your face. Tran just cuts without following moehs guideline. His assistance cut no matter what and usually at an area that you cannot observe. They never got the right spot as I pointed out the face problem as they never did a good review. I believe the office is a scam.

All I can say is what I was told. "The Doctor does not see clinic patients". Yet others say he sees them. I assumed it was because I was on medicare. I don't know how he makes his decision. But for a dr to refuse to see me for whatever reason --I AM HIS PATIENT. I never went back after the stitches were taken out - not by HIM either. And I know he heard his assistant and me talking. I am not incorrect. I know what I heard. I did move on. I hope this makes my experience clear. And Dr. Tran operated on my back. That was when I asked if I could see him the next visit and then told he does not see clinic patients. The assistant took out the stitches. Nuff said…. I'm somewhere else…Maybe the others "made the grade" whatever that is. the lucky ones he will deign to see.

There are far too many of us who know differently!
He does on fact do MOHS procedure. There are no 10 minute MOHS procedures. Do you know the sequence of steps in a MOHS procedure.
It can sometimes take a half or even full day to completely remove all markers completely.

"...a 4 inch cut..." is over half of the side of one's face???

If you are so convinced about his malpractice why are you not taking it to the appropriate medical review? Maybe you are and have just not said so....eh?

Myself and my spouse have gone to Dr. Trans office. I assumed with my family history that I might have some issues. But I had NOTHING cut from my body. So that debunks the cut no matter what theory. I return in a year for an annual follow-up. My spouse who has no family history or risk factors has had several biopsies come back as pre-melanoma. Having had two surgeries to clear margins we have nothing but positive things to say. Phil, PA is an outstanding PA and very knowledgeable.
After living in The Villages for 8 years now, I have learned that there are those out there that will complain no matter what. Grounds or no grounds.
My family has had very good quality experiences at this practice. Some problems with others may be a personality fit. Not everyone will care for the same DR. Can be as simple as that.

I've been going to Dr. Tran's office for a couple of years. The first time I went I saw Dr. Tran, now I see his P.A., Phil. She's wonderful & very compassionate. I've have a few minor procedures done by her. I've never waited more than 10 minutes for my appt.

I have been going to Dr. Tran for about 3 years. I think he's very good.

Wow, didn't realize I've been going there that long !!
When I first went, it was just a couple of times for something minor.
Then later when I got cancer I started going again. Now I go more often.
Forgot about the other visits way back in the day.

I've had more experience with Dr Tran than I like to think about.....4 mose on the nose plus other stuff. He is very good and he is still my choice. Only complaint is the wait in between procedures and feeling the next round of deadener. A needle in the nose is not pleasant!

Does anyone have any experience with Dr. Tran and his office staff, and their general procedures? Is it usually a long wait in the office?

I do not know anything about this dr.
When I moved to TV almost 2 years ago, I need to find a dermatologist asap, as I just had surgery for a melanoma in my arm.

I went to Dr Freeman and saw David.... they are great... David takes his time when checking my skin, the nurses and medical staff are awesome. The office stay is great. I have never waited more than 5 minutes... They are located on Buenos Aires......
