Dr. Dan Tran of Lake Surgical Associates is fellowship-trained in minimally invasive surgery. A surgeon in Lake County for nine years, he utilizes minimally invasive techniques for the following procedures: inguinal hernia, incisional hernia repair, appendix, gallbladder, anti-reflux, and colon resection for benign disease or malignant disease.
