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.

Dr. Tran Lee referred us out for my sons eye and I appreciate her being so thorough with him. I sent her some pictures after our well visit & she personally emailed me back herself and sent a referral in that day. I am forever grateful for her. My daughter is 4 and she is always sad when she doesn't get to come with (patient) to see " her doctor" too.

DR. TRAN LEE IS ONE OF THE Best doctors my daughter has seen . I feel she treats both of my kids like her own .She goes above and beyond to take care of us. She has even called past 5 to check on (patient) . She has went to great lengths to help me figure out the best management plan for my daughters chronic ear infections and other general illnesses. We have been in her office a lot recently with different childhood illnesses that then result in an ear infection. She never rushes us and takes her time to really find out what she can about (patient) and make appropriate decisions. I highly recommend her to my friends.

I have been using cook children's as our family pediatrician for over a decade and Shandi and Tran Lee are the nicest and comforting professionals I have ever had in a medical setting which is just as important as their medical knowledge when dealing with children particularly if they have autism like my child has.
