As an immigrant, Dr. John Duong-Tran grew up immersed in two beautifully diverse cultures.  After graduating from high school at the age of fifteen, he obtained his Bachelor of Science in Biology and his graduate degree in Microbiology. He attended medical school at Oregon Health Sciences University and completed his residency in Pediatrics at Doernbecher Children’s Hospital. He practiced as a general pediatrician and a pediatric hospitalist for nearly six years in the Pacific Northwest prior to embarking on further fellowship training in Pediatric Critical Care at Rady Children’s Hospital in San Diego, CA. Dr. Duong-Tran has accumulated extensive expertise from practicing in the field of pediatrics for more than thirty one years.

His clinical experience ranges from practicing as a primary care pediatrician, caring for both well and sick children, to working in a large, high intensity, Pediatric ICU, where he treats critically ill patients. Dr. Duong-Tran has served in several Directorship roles, including launching two Pediatric Intensive Care Units, serving as the Director of a Pediatric Transport team (by air and by ground), and serving as a Director in Education in the third busiest pediatric Emergency Department in the State of Arizona. He also has years of experience working as a physician treating children in that same Pediatric Emergency Department. 

Additionally, Dr. Duong-Tran has received multiple nominations and was presented with the Physician of Excellence Award at Banner Thunderbird Medical Center in AZ. He remains integrally involved in training nurses and therapists in several PICUs as well as training emergency medicine residents and medical students in both the science and art of treating children. 

Dr. Duong-Tran has been happily married for over twenty years and is the proud father of five adult children. In his free time, he enjoys spending time with his family, reading espionage novels, traveling abroad, and playing semi-competitive tennis.
