Her goal is to build strong, trusting relationships with patients and put them on the path toward healing.

A bona fide foodie, Dr. Tran loves spending her spare time exploring new restaurants. She is also a lifelong Golden State Warriors fan and a trivia buff. One of her simple pleasures is watching Jeopardy! with her partner. Amazingly, she was struck by lightning when she was 3 years old.
