Trust your vision with a comprehensive eye care specialist

Dr. Ut Michael K. Tran specializes in a variety of ocular conditions

What’s your favorite part about your role?

“I enjoy interacting with patients especially in listening to their eye needs and concerns. I am happy to be able to take care of their eye problems.”

What’s a memorable moment in your career?

“I had a patient with complaints that she saw haloes around lights and had eye pain. The patient’s eye pressure could not be read for the one eye using a non-contact tonometer. I then tested the pressure with an applanation tonometer and it read 73mmgh for that eye. I immediately provided relief using glaucoma eye drops, and the eye pressure was reduced to a safe range. The patient was very happy and glad that she no longer had pain, and was not at risk of going blind from the extreme high glaucoma eye pressure.”

My wait time was minimal and I was pleased to note the furniture arrangement for social distancing and the sanitation practices in progress. All in all it was a much more relaxing experience than I anticipated and I was impressed by the procedures taken to assure safe practices for the safety of the patients and staff while reducing stress on the patients.

C.J.S.

I had cataract surgery and correction of an astigmatism. In one word……excellent!

Ray J.

I am a first time patient at your practice. Everyone was so nice and knowledgeable. Overall it was a great experience. I did not realize how bad my vision was. I am amazed! The get well flowers were a nice touch!

J.B.

The staff and doctor were very accommodating. Always on time, if not earlier with appointments. The surgical staff was very attentive to any needs such as extra blankets if needed, and making sure you were comfortable while you waited for your surgery.

Pam C

First time in 78 years I can see well without prescription lenses! I was apprehensive to have any elective surgery during the pandemic with my age and health history. The staff sensed it and made an effort to deal with it very professionally.

W.H.R.

Wonderful practice with kind and supportive employees. The doctors are top notch and excellent!

A. Hendrix

I am so glad the doctor suggested LRI with my cataract surgery. I had never heard of it but it is amazing how my astigmatism is dissipating slowly and it is the reason I started wearing glasses 30 years ago! Even working around pandemic guidelines everyone is polite and cooperates as a team.

A.A.N.

I am so happy at how good I can see now. Everyone was very professional and efficient. I feel my Dr is one of the best. I wouldn’t go to anyone else. Every one there was just great. Thank you so much.
