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.

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.

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.

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?

My wife and i have been going to Dr. Tran for ~3 years now; I highly recommend him. He did a great job with my mohs surgery last summer. He is a trained plastic surgeon also, he really know what he is doing!
Unfortunately my new plan UHC with TV does not have him on the in network list, so off to Dr. Casper.

Not fair for you to say that when you can't back up what you said. I'd like to know the 8 patients you are stating so WE can talk to them. It's so sad that people are allowed to hurt people with statements that are not so true. Shameful!!!

You counted them, why ?

[villagerjack]

My wife and I have been patients of Dr Tran for over 6 years. He is an excellent doctor. We trust his judgement implicitly. In fact, Dr Tran has replaced my Dermatologist in NY whom I use for only minor visits.

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

My wife and I are both patients of Dr Tran. My wife is an RN and I have also worked in the medical field for 40 years.

His staff is professional and knowledgeable. Dr Tran is an excellent dermatologist. The office is very clean and the staff observes sterile procedure.

Thank you for your objective observations. One of the things I dislike about poorly identified comments is one's ability to hide behind a pseudonym.

I am a patient of Dr. Tran. He performed one procedure on my back. He and his staff are very professional and efficient. I would definitely refer him to any friend looking for a Dermatologist.

I will never go back and I do not recommend the office.

Greg - what's your real name? Or are you an upset competitor?

PapaLarry - I apologize. My comment about pseudonyms was not aimed at you.

[Abster]

My PCP referred me to Dr. Tran. I had my initial visit today. He and his entire team were very professional, caring and concerned. His front office was extremely courteous and I was not only seen on time but the doctor and his assistant spent over an hour with me. I would certainly recommend him to anyone.

I understand and no harm meant!!!! I like you, don't like seeing people making statements, that an individual cannot reply. Especially, a doctor who is so respectable.

[Toscana]

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.
