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.

Sorry. Wrong Dr Tran. Mine was Dr Lily Tran

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?
