Bobby Tran, NP

As a nurse practitioner in orthopedics, Bobby Tran appreciates his opportunity to make a difference in people’s lives.
“Orthopedics is a unique specialty, in that you can restore someone’s ability to function and resume the activities they love,” he said. “Studying the human body is fascinating; everyone’s anatomy is different in its own way.”
Tran views his work as a way to help fulfill people’s hopes for a more active future. He said that his approach to treatment involves empathy, respect and a listening ear. “I try to treat every patient as though they were a family member and make every attempt to understand what they’re going through,” he said.
Born and raised in Marshfield, Tran recalled that he was delivered by a Marshfield Clinic doctor at Ministry Saint Joseph’s Hospital. “I’m very pleased to have this chance to serve and give back to the community that I know so well,” he said. He …credits his mother, an immigrant from Vietnam who aspired to being a nurse, with inspiring his career choice.
Tran earned his graduate degree as a family nurse practitioner at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire.
He resides in Marshfield with his wife, Jena, who is also a Marshfield native, and their daughter Ettie. He enjoys cross-country skiing, cycling and cooking.
