Robert H Tran, MD's Online Review Report Card

My daughter saw Dr Tran for abdominal pain that she had for many years. He was very methodical and complete about her evaluation and explained to me in a very thoughtful and easy to understand way. Due to the complexity of her problem, I actually sought a second opinion at another GI in Orange County but she was no where as complete as Dr. Tran. I ended up returning to Dr. Tran because I trusted him and in the end, my daughter is now better and doing well.

my son went to Dr. Tran for several years complaining of stomach pain. Dr. Tran had my son do a hydrogen breath test to see if it was bacteria in his stomach. The results showed negative. After years of trying to get help from Dr. Tran (who concluded my sons problem was anxiety), we went to another GI doctor. That GI doctor looked at the breath test Dr. Tran gave us and said that although the usual way of diagnosing bacteria overgrowth problems was for the test to show an increase from the baseline, that my sons baseline was so high that it might not have increased because his baseline was so high. Dr. Tran totaly missed that ON HIS OWN TEST. After my son being in pain for 12 years (since he was born), Our new GI doctor prescribed him antibiotics made for his GI tract and within 4 days my son was fine. I think Dr. Tran might be good for regular, obvious, GI problems, but don't expect him to dig in. If he had looked at the data of our test and not just the results, my son would have been out of pain much sooner.
