I have been going to Dr Tran for 5 years now, and have had some surgery procedures, which were needed. Glad they caught them on time. Staff very professional, along with Dr Tran. Would recommend to anyone. As far as waiting, that happens at any Doctors Office, but I found most of the time, that they run on schedule.

I'm back ...
 
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....

Been a patient for 7 years. Rarely wait longer than 10 minutes. . Had several surgeries which were also confirmed with my doctor in NY. He is a cosmetic surgeon also and ....no visible scaring.

We like Dr. Casper at Allied Dermatology on 466 across from the Haciendas at Mission Hills. He opened his practice here about a year ago.

We also like Dr. Casper a lot. We have experienced very little waiting in that office.

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.

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.

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?

Philip Winkler 03-07-2014 02:47 PM

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 03-17-2014 07:18 PM

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.

Bonny 03-17-2014 07:34 PM

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.

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.


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 03-17-2014 08:44 PM

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.

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.

????????

Bonny 04-10-2014 08:55 AM

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.

dplars 04-10-2014 04:12 PM

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!

lyndybu 05-15-2014 04:26 PM

Dr Lily Tran is married to Dr Han who is in a surgeon in the same 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......
