Meet Dr. NhuNha Tran-Lee
From the young age of 5, NhuNha Tran-Lee, M.D., wanted to be a doctor, specifically a kid's doctor. In high school and college she was enamored by the carefree nature of children, and chose volunteer opportunities that involved kids. After completing her OB/Gyn rotation in medical school and always wanting to "catch" the babies, she quickly realized that pediatrics was her speciality of choice. Today, Dr. Tran-Lee enjoys helping parents guide their children through their growth and development. Nutrition education is a strong focus in her well-child checkups.
Dr. Tran-Lee was born in Malaysia, after her parents had left Vietnam, and her family immigrated to the United States just before her first birthday. She was raised in Poughkeepsie, a town in upstate New York. Dr. Tran-Lee obtained her bachelor of science in nutrition at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio, and completed a dietetic internship at Yale New Haven Hospital in Connecticut prior to entering medical school at the University at Buffalo School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences. Having? completed all her schooling in the northeast, she decided to move to Texas and completed her residency at UT Southwestern Children's Medical Center Dallas in 2006 and has been practicing in the Denton area since 2009. Dr. Tran-Lee is board certified by the American Board of Pediatrics and is a fellow of the American Academy of Pediatrics.
In her time away from the office, Dr. Tran-Lee can be found spending time with her husband and being mom to her son and daughter, who keep her on her toes. She enjoys cooking, especially creating baked goods. She also likes to play indoor or outdoor volleyball.

I love dr Tran Lee. I trust her with both of my kids. She's the most thorough physician I've ever encountered and I trust her recommendations whether it's to monitor or treat. She makes me feel heard even with complaints that may not be a big deal to her. Shandi has also always been so helpful with my kids when they were babies and helping me when formula was scarce. She always smiles and is super sweet.

I came for a follow up visit right away my daughter was born to check on her weight. It was towards the end of the pandemic so everyone was still wearing masks. My husband got Covid in the delivery room and so I was all a mess of emotions between that and now making sure my daughter was gaining weight. A different nurse called us back and started to weigh my daughter. Nurse Shandi came around the corner, saw me, could tell I was a mess and gave me a huge hug and I just cried. Was exactly what I needed. My daughter was growing just fine and I was able to go home with relief. I will never forget it.
