As a nurse practitioner in orthopedics,
Bobby Tran appreciates his opportunity
to make a difference in people’s lives.
“Orthopedics is a unique specialty, in
that you can restore someone’s ability to
function and resume the activities they
love,” he said. “Studying the human body
is fascinating; everyone’s anatomy is
different in its own way.”
Tran views his work as a way to help fulfill
people’s hopes for a more active future.
He said that his approach to treatment
involves empathy, respect and a listening
ear. “I try to treat every patient as though
they were a family member and make
every attempt to understand what they’re going through,” he said.
Born and raised in Marshfield, Tran recalled that he was delivered by a Marshfield Clinic doctor at Ministry Saint Joseph’s Hospital. “I’m very pleased to have this chance to serve and give back to the community that I know so well,” he said. He credits his mother, an immigrant from Vietnam who aspired to being a nurse, with inspiring his career choice.
Tran earned his graduate degree as a family nurse practitioner at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire.
He resides in Marshfield with his wife, Jena, who is also a Marshfield native, and their daughter Ettie. He enjoys cross-country skiing, cycling and cooking.
