Seaside Dermatology & Skin Cancer Center

Long wait but the doctor is great

Dr. Tran diagnosed me with genital warts! He did it from a bird’s eye view, without texture examination. I mentioned to him that I was a married man in a monogamous marriage, as well. He proceeded to biopsy.
I causally mentioned that he would owe me lunch if he were wrong, and sure enough, USC gave him back NEGATIVE results.
He’s inexperienced. I was also expecting that he waive the charge for this monumental miscalculation, but he only took off 10%.

What an AMAZING group of people at Seaside Dermatology!!! Dr. Tran is AWESOME! He even called me personally to check up on me!!! Couldn’t ask for better care and attentiveness!!!

Staff was great. Visit with Dr. Tran was great too. He was very professional. Easy to find location and parking also.

After visiting multiple other dermatologists in Orange Coutny, I found Dr Tran, and I am so grateful I did.
He is the most intelligent dermatologist and doctor I have ever visited. With an undergrad from Stanford and an MD-​PhD from Harvard, you might expect an overly-​academic approach, or a lack of bedside manor, but neither was the case. He was caring, and thorough, while being extraordinarily knowledgeable and practical.
I was amazed to have had no contact with a nurse. I was brought into an exam room and was seen 30 seconds later by the doctor, who then treated me throughout my stay. The appointment was prompt and quick.
His solutions were creative and pragmatic. He explained what was possible, what I should expect, and the timeline that was appropriate. He let me know where I could buy alternate or equally effective products without having to get a perscription.
After having seen another dermatologist for 18 months for the same issue with little resolve, it was such a relief and a reward to see a caring dermatologist who I felt took my issues seriously, and was not in a hurry to simply churn me through.
Thanks!

I visited Dr. Tran for a skin condition. From the start, Dr. Tran took the time to really listen to me, understand my health history, while also asking the right questions to ensure he was equipped with the right information.
Not only is Dr. Tran patient in his approach, but he is very caring and sincere.
I don’t say this lightly, but Dr. Tran is unequivocally one of the finest, smartest, most patient and sincere doctors I’ve come across. I not only feel I have a superb derm specialist I can always go to, but in a weird, subtle way feel I also made a friend. Maybe it’s how he listens and the fact that he genuinely cares; nonetheless, he is an amazing physician as well as a great person. He took care of my condition very swiftly.
I highly recommend Dr. Tran. And as I left his office on my last visit, I mentioned to him, «I hope to see you, but not in this context.» I actually meant it.

This review is for the reception lady who schedules the appointments over the phone. Today morning I called the office in order to schedule an appointment. I had never visited the office before. I heard that the reception staff picked up the phone and as soon as I wanted to say «hello» the connection was out. This can happen, so I called again, just to hear that she picks up the phone and leaves me on hold immediately. She could have at least say something like «just a second». Later I all of her sudden hear her very annoyed voice saying «This is… office. How can I help you?!» No good morning, no thank you for waiting. It was obvious that she knew that I (the same person) called again. However I didn’t understand why she seems to be so annoyed. After all it is her job to greet and assist patients, especially new patients, in a friendly manner. Nevertheless, due to my rashes on the skin, I really needed to schedule the appointment and asked whether February 10 was available. She said it was available and asked me for my insurance type. After letting her know, she asked me about my insurance id. When I told her she said in a very cold and fast sentence. «We don’t take your insurance category». I was a bit shocked since my husband and I have one of the best insurance in the country. So when I said «ok…», she just hung up on me. My actual problem is not the fact that the office apparently doesn’t take my insurance. It is the way how the reception lady talked and dealt with the situation. Overall a very weird experience that leaves a bad taste in my mouth and want to make me warn other people who are interested in scheduling an appointment for the first time at this office, especially with this very unfriendly lady. Unfortunately I was so shocked that I couldn’t ask for her name. If you still need to go here just be prepared that the staff is not the most professional.

Dr Tran speaks Vietnamese which was a plus. I brought my mother in for a second opinion because she had terrible leg rashes that weren’t resolving even after weeks. He seems to be knowledgeable and made a quick diagnosis of eczema and prescribed topical steroid. Maybe we came close to lunch hour but I thought the examination process seemed rush. He seemed to want to get wrap up the session and move on though there was no one waiting after us. He does accept Medicare pts so feel free to see him for any skin issues.

I’ve had personal experience with Dr. Tran as a patient and a referral source. I must say that his cool, calm, warm bedside manner is what people rave about.
I find him to be very smart and humble. I would highly recommend him as a dermatologist in Irvine, Orange County, Southern California.
I’m sure you will be very happy.

Just came back from my first visit with Dr. Tran. The office was pleasant and clean, staff was friendly, and Dr. Tran was very professional.
I may have found the best dermatologist in town. I have been seen by two other doctors for my issue in the past and my skin did not get any better. The ointment that Dr. Tran prescribed seems (feels) to be doing its magic already. I know it has only been an hour or so since I applied the ointment, but that’s the reason for this review. My skin felt the relief the very moment I applied.
You and your skin know when it’s working.
Thanks for serving us Irvine folks.

I’ve been seeing Dr. Tran now for over two years for my eczema. He is really easy to talk to and very knowledgeable. He takes the time to answer all your questions and I feel very comfortable with him.
Every time I see hum, my eczema gets under control and I only go back if I have a new skin issue or a major flare up. I highly recommend Dr. Tran. I am always in and out in 15 mins. Max.

I found this Dr. through Unilocal so here is my experience.
Dr. Tran was helpful and gave me a good prescription/​educated me on my treatment plan but he didn’t have the best bedside manner. While discussing treatment options or my past experiences with other doctors he didn’t really take too much time listening and gave off a condescending tone with his answers and seemed to be oblivious about his manner. Needless to say, I don’t think I’ll be back…

I found him on Google and Unilocal when I was desperately looking for a local dermatologist that had an available spot for a new patient. I called the office in the morning and was given a same-​day appointment, thanks to the receptionist lady that squeezed me in right before Dr’s lunch break. Dr. Tran was very friendly and confident, was able to diagnose my skin problem right away, and offered treatment and advice that took care of my issue within a couple of days. Thank you, Dr. Tran and the team!

I have found my local dermatologist. Great personality and extremely knowledgeable. I highly recommend.

I feel fortunate that Dr. Tran is my dermatologist. He found skin cancer on my face. After getting over my ‘shock’ he clearly covered all my options and patiently answered all of my questions. He performed MOHS surgery on my face and the entire procedure was painless. He was compassionate and caring during the procedure keeping me informed of what he was doing. Again, without pain. His after-​care and follow-​up was thorough and I healed quickly. He had to make about a 5 inch incision and also perform a skin graft… and «if» there is a scar, I can’t even see it myself ! His education/​training/​certification is TOP RATED by graduating from Harvard Medical School, MIT, and even serving as a professor of MOHS surgery to medical students. I have referred him to family and friends and have complete confidence in him. As an added bonus, he is a personable, fun individual.
Wish I could give him more than 5 stars!

I went in for a sclerotherapy procedure. It was a very easy procedure and non-​invasive except having to wear compression tights for 2 weeks as part of the recovery. Regardless, the procedure wasn’t painful and it was worth the results. Now I can wear my bare legs this summer when wearing skirts or dresses and don’t have to be insecure with my purple veins. ;) I highly recommend Dr. Tran for this procedure along with acne treatment which he has also helped me with.

I went to see Dr. Tran today for my annual mole/​skin check up. I called in the morning and the friendly receptionist fit me in the same day! Having never gone to a dermatologist in California since my move, I wasn’t sure what to expect but Dr. Tran was very personable, easy to talk to and very thorough with the exam. In addition, he educated me on what to watch for with suspicious looking moles. He wasn’t in a hurry and I feel that he actually enjoys what he does! His credentials speak for themselves. He will be my go to dermatologist from now on.

Excellent service I had a consult on a irregular mole and the Dr. Jack Tran took great care of me!! Fair prices and I will now be a yearly customer. I trust him to take care of my skin…
