After graduating from Saint Louis University School of Medicine in 2012, Dr. Tran completed her residency in Dermatology at the University of Kansas Medical Center. She is a board-certified diplomate of the American Board of Dermatology and fellow of the American Academy of Dermatology. She joined Kelsey-Seybold after caring for patients at Clear Dermatology, PLLC, in Katy, Texas, where she practiced medical, surgical, and, occasionally, cosmetic Dermatology.
Her notable community services include volunteering her medical expertise at JayDoc Free Dermatology Clinic; the Outreach Skin Cancer Screening Program; and the Saint Louis University HIV Task Force.
Dr. Tran enjoys cooking, traveling, trying new foods, and spending time with her husband, family, and friends.
Fun Facts
The best advice Dr. Tran received was “make your own happiness.” She studied in Costa Rica for three months, most of the time living in a cloud forest. Her favorite books are “Jane Eyre” by Charlotte Bronte and “Dune” by Frank Herbert. Her guilty pleasure is binge-watching a series on Netflix.
Dr. Tran graduated magna cum laude from UCLA. She graduated with “high distinction” from Saint Louis University School of Medicine and was chief resident of Dermatology at the University of Kansas Medical Center.
