Meet Dr. Sifrance Tran

Dr. Sifrance Tran is a pediatric surgeon and critical care specialist with advanced expertise in a wide range of neonatal and pediatric disorders. He is triple board certified by the American Board of Surgery in General Surgery, Pediatric Surgery, and Surgical Critical Care. Dr. Tran is also an elected member of the Academy of Master Teachers at the University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB), a fellow of the American College of Surgeons, a specialty fellow of the American Academy of Pediatrics, and a member of the American Pediatric Surgical Association.

Dr. Tran received his Doctor of Medicine (MD) with honors from the Morehouse School of Medicine in Atlanta, Georgia, in 2007. He then continued his training at the Medical College of Georgia where he completed his general surgery residency from 2007-2012. Dr. Tran went on to the Ann and Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago in Chicago, Illinois, to participate in three fellowships: Pediatric Surgical Critical Care (2012-2013); Pediatric Critical Care Research (2013-2014); and Pediatric Surgery (2014-2016).

Prior to joining Cook Children's, Dr. Tran was an Assistant Professor at (UTMB) in Galveston, Texas where he served as the Assistant Program Director of the General Surgery Residency Program (2016-2020). He has authored over a dozen peer-reviewed articles in surgical journals and achieved numerous teaching awards, earning him the prestigious title of University of Texas Distinguished Teaching Professor.

Dr. Tran has a special interest in advanced minimally invasive surgery for both rare and common surgical conditions, including malformations in the abdomen, thoracic abnormalities, appendicitis, hernias, pyloric stenosis, and Hirschsprung's disease. He is also an expert in surgical critical care of newborns and infants. Ultimately, Dr. Tran's goal is to provide complete care to his patients and families in the least invasive way possible.

Dr. Tran is married over 14 years and has two wonderful children. When he is not working he enjoys spending time with his daughter and son outdoors and supporting his wife's fascinating bird breeding hobby.

I understand surgery for your child can be a stressful and challenging experience. I have personally experienced this myself as a parent because my son had appendicitis, which required a laparoscopic appendectomy. My role as your pediatric surgeon is to make the surgical experience as comfortable and stress free as possible for both you and your child. Helping you understand the reasons for surgery, how a surgery is done, and how to care for your child after a procedure is my primary goal. Having your child evaluated for surgery may seem like a scary experience, but it doesn't have to be. It can be a pleasant step towards achieving a healthy life together.
