Dr. Tran grew up in the suburbs of Philly, attending Council Rock North High School in Newtown, PA with his four older brothers. Though he and his brothers had their fair share of disagreements, one thing that three of them could agree on is the field of Podiatry. His older brother, Matthew, trailblazed the path to podiatry and the career choice seemed obvious from there. Being able to bounce ideas between him and his siblings has been a great asset to his maturation into a physician.
Dr. Tran has spent a good quarter of his life at Temple with four years dedicated to a bachelor’s degree in science and another four at Temple University School of Podiatric Medicine. Following school, he completed a 36-month surgical training program at Crozer-Chester Medical Center University Hospital in Chester, PA leading to satisfaction of all requirements for PMSR/RRA (Podiatric Medicine and Surgery Residency/Rearfoot and Ankle Reconstruction) designation. This includes both conservative and surgical management of foot and ankle deformities and injuries, including bunion and hammer toe correction, tendon and ligament injuries, and management of arthritic joints.
When he is not helping people, he can be found with his brothers on the tennis courts. He also enjoys playing music (guitar and piano), video games, and watching Philadelphia sports teams. He recently started rock climbing, though is limited by a fear of heights.
