I was referred by my regular Optometrist that I have gone to for over 25years. I had cataract surgery on both eyes. You do wait like mentioned by someone else but that happens with most doctors. Dr Tran has NO chair side manner. He hardly speaks, even his daughter (Optometrist there) agreed. My left eye is great (I have mono vision) but my right eye, where I paid $3000 for a "special Lens" is still not right. With hardly any information I was told I had dry eye when my regular Optometrist said I didn't. Then they shoved a form in my hand and told me to sign, so I did. I really had no idea what I was signing for. Then his daughter put something in my eye that fell out the next day and of course they billed me for it. I really disagree with their policy of not billing my insurance for the special lens. Guess they're afraid my PPO wouldn't allow the total charge. I worked in dentistry for over 40 years and part of that was doing insurance. We always billed for EVERYTHING we did. Always proved to patients that some things aren't covered. I went back last week for final check up. I still see clouds pass by and they said there is nothing else they can do. I don't find that acceptable. Would you? read more

The Coastal Vision Med Grp, at the Long Beach location is the place i visited Dr. Tran for my cataract surgery exam. After my right eye surgery was done, i am thankful to Dr. Tran for giving me an amazingly improved eyesight. I noticed the improvement within a week.   I know it can only get much better in the next few weeks.   I feel my right eye will eventually match my good left  eye.   Again, thank you, Dr. Tran.         I would also like to express my sincerest appreciation and thanks to everyone in the Long Beach office and the surgery center.   Not only are they very professional but also kind, sensitive and understanding to a patient's needs and what they may be going through at the moment. Special thanks to Cynthia who has answered my ph calls many times and was very helpful. read more

Dan Tran, MD - Second waiting room - Ophthalmologists Near Me - Orange, California

See all

Dr. Tran is an ophthalmologist and he's a great one but his scheduling system is horrible. I don't know if it's the inefficient system or they just overbook but when you go to your appointment, be ready to wait for at least an hour or more until you actually see the doctor. My whole family goes here to get our eyes checked and my parents got their cataract surgery done by Dr. Tran and the procedures (4 total) were flawless. But man, the waiting is horrible. I honestly wouldn't go here again but I have been going here since I was little so I am used to the wait and always bring along a book or make sure my phone is fully charged when I go to my appointments. read more

Was in and out pretty quick, great care from the doctors! The only thing I'd say is the receptionist is slightly rude but if you speak up and clarify your next appointment and treatment with the doctor you'll be fine. read more

The main optometrist/ophthalmologist for this location is Dr. Dan B. Tran. I did not see him, but I saw Dr. Sinavy Thorng, OD (female) 4 times. Bottom line - this doctor runs late and does not care to take the time with her patients to find the solution to a problem the patent is having. If you think there is anything unique about your eye situation and you are looking for a patient and helpful optometrist, DO NOT GO HERE. I will try my best to sum up my unfortunate experiences... 1. First visit - waited 45 minutes in hot waiting room. - prescription renewal exam with Dr. Sinavy Thorng went fine - woman in room helping with glasses - hard to understand, did not give professional advice, and did not understand my questions - I did not buy any glasses. 2. Second visit - Contact lens exam. - waited an hour in hot waiting room - no real "exam" even though I paid $90 - Dr. Sinavy Thorng had a pair of lenses for me to try and put them in - a man helped me learn to take them out / put them in - he was nice and very patient 3. Third visit - report back about the lenses. - I tried to explain that the lenses made my vision weird and were irritating - Dr. Sinavy Thorng told me this is all because I have dry eyes - and I might not be a candidate for contacts. She did not offer any other options and seemed to expect me to say, "Ok, nevermind then" - I had to convince her to let me try other lenses - she did not want to help me find others and acted like she was doing me a favor. - She ordered 2 other pairs for me- said they'd be ready in 3 days 4. 8 Days later - I called about contacts - they had come in that day 5. 2 weeks later - report back about these lenses - I could see much better! - Lenses STILL irritating!! - Dr. Sinavy Thorng told me that I had already tried 3 lenses, and most people do not try that many. She told me that it costs them money each time they have to order a free trial pair for me, and that she was going to start CHARGING ME for these FREE trial pairs. She said that I had to realize that I had dry eyes - and when would all this stop? She made me feel like I was wasting her time and that I was being unreasonable about ACTUALLY WANTING TO FIND A PAIR OF CONTACTS THAT WORKED!!! - I told her that she was not treating me as a doctor who wanted to help a patient should. - She offered me a refund of the cost of the exam - I accepted. Done with Dr. Sinavy Thorng read more

The front office staff is rude and unprofessional. They don't take the time to understand/explain what you are asking of them. On my first visit I only wanted to get a Rx for glasses and contacts. I did not want to get the Rx filled by them. They did not like that and tried telling me that it would be an extra $90 if I wanted the Dr. to write me both Rx's. I had to call my insurance provider on my cell phone and hand it to the front desk girl so that they may explain to her that she was incorrect and that both Rx's were included. After that I had to wait it the hot "waiting area" in the back. Mind you it shares a ventilation system with the Chinese Food restaurant next door, yuck! And it is packed with folding chairs, really cramped. The doctor was late so the girl from the front desk began the exam. I don't know, if any training she actually has. As for the contacts they don't seem to ever have the trail pairs in stock. I was told it would take a few days to get mine in and that the front desk would call me. A week later I finally called them about the status and they made me make an appointment for another week later. Also, my glasses Rx was written the day of my first exam but the lady at the front desk forgot to give it to me. Turns out the Dr. never signed it so I would have to come back again to pick it up. I came back twice and the office was closed for lunch both times. Apparently they get a 2 hour lunch from 12-2pm. Must be nice to work there huh? For my second appointment for my trail contact fitting I arrived 10 min before 9 am. The office was open however not one person that works the desk and checks you in got there until 9am, which was my appointment time. The doctor did not arrive until after 9:15am. I still wasn't checked in at this time by the front desk. I explained to the Dr. that the Trial lenses were hurting in my right eye. Her answer was, " You never had contacts for astigmatism before so they will feel different." For the record I have been wearing contact lenses with my astigmatism for the last 13 years. I gave her the benefit of the doubt and tried out the lenses for a week. When I went back I had the same complaint, her answer this time was I had dry eyes and should wear contacts. I brought my old Rx with me do that she may compare what I had been wearing to what she was prescribing. She went into her office and came back with 2 Rx's. She said she wrote me the new Rx and re-wrote my "Old" Rx a Ivan decide which one I wanted. When I got home I looked at the papers. She wrote the same Rx on both sheets an just labeled one "old" and one "new." I finally had to convince my insurance To reinstate my benefits for the year so that I may go to another eye doctor. I am also in the process I trying to get my insurance company to drop this doctor as a provider. This should not keep happening to patients! What a waste of time and money! Do not go here! read more

I have had 2 cataracts removed by Dr Tran. It was a totally painless and amazing experience. I went from being legally blind to seeing better than I have in 30 years. The office staff is nice and the wait is a little long to see him but not for other visits.I would recommend him highly read more

The receptionist is not very friendly at all. If I wasn't already involved in our process I would not stay here. I don't like bad customer service... I actually loathe it....I believe if you don't like your job then QUIT. read more
