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 . 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!

Posters who infer unethical and in fact illegal practice of medicine without any shred of factual evidence , are themselves unethical. Some may be sorry for their imprudent remarks in public communications such as this.

Did you personally ask who goes to what doctor and if they left and why?

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

Yes, I, too, a interested in knowing who!

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.

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....

[villagerjack]

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.
