      I would like to clarify that the delay for the appointment was caused by me having another procedure beforehand - Dr. Tran saw me even though she had to wait for me to come to her office after my other treatment. She is extremely knowledgeable, explains every step of the treatment in detail and has always been extremely encouraging and uplifting. I feel very lucky to have been in her care after my cancer was discovered.
