Dr. Robert Huy Tran, MD

My son saw Dr. Tran as a second opinion after seeing another gastroenterologist in Orange County. Dr. Tran was very thorough and explained everything in detail but also in a way that both my son and I could understand. Glad to say that my son is doing much better now.

My son has been a patient of Dr. Tran for several years for Crohn's disease. His flares have been complicated at times and Dr. Tran has been always responsive. He is thoughtful and takes the time to explain my son's treatment options.

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.

Dr. Tran asked a lot of questions and I'm confident that he'll be able to make a diagnosis.

Dr. Tran was very kind and showed a lot of compassion for my child. Explained everything in detail and took the time to make sure me and my family understood the testing involved and the diagnosis. Excellent GI doctor!

He does not listen to the patient or the parent. He doesn't think outside the box. If a medication isn't working, he doesn't switch prescriptions. My daughter saw him for about a year, and I watched her deteriorate. Finally we switched GIs, and the new GI stopped the rx'd Dr. Tran had prescribed. She improved within a month. I would not trust him.

Excellent doctor, very gentle. We have a daughter with special needs and he made us feel so at ease.

Dr. Tran was able to diagnose my daughter after 3 months. On our first visit he ordered the two tests that were necessary in coming up with the diagnosis. We had dealt with 2 other gastroenterologists who did not listen to the symptoms and didn't run the necessary tests. One of the other doctors kept saying it was a psychological problem, Dr. Tran dug deeper to figure out it was a physical problem, and he provided the proper next steps. We are so glad to have him treating her!

Dr. Tran is an awesome Dr. very thorough. His bedside manor is great asks alot of questions and takes alot of notes.

I would rate Dr. Tran 10 stars if I could. He is so kind, thorough,knowledgable, and will answer all of your questions, we have never felt rushed. As a mother of a 17 year old daughter w/ stomach problems we have unfortunately seen many doctors, some we were not pleased w/ at all (CHOC) and then we were referred to Dr. Tran from a friend. My daughter and I loved him and his staff from the first visit.
