Hien Tran Obituary
After finishing a fellowship in child and adolescent psychiatry at Johns Hopkins University, Dr. Tran practiced in Northern Virginia for 25 years.

Dr. Tran was an amazingly talented doctor. His brilliance, humor, and kind spirit helped to heal me and many other people I met who worked with him. May his afterlife be filled with tranquil golf courses and infinite love.

I feel SO privileged that I could work with you. I learned tremendously while watching you work with the toughest teens as smoothly as if it was easy. We will all miss you deeply. Grateful you've been in our lives.
My thoughts and prayers are with Dr. Tran's family.

Dr Tran will truly be missed! He was always a sight of joy and a source of motivation. I am glad I had the chance to meet, spend time with, and play golf with Dr Tran, and Quy.
Dr Tran was no ordinary person. There are no words that can sum up who he is/was; but just know, he is a "Man's Man". The time I spent with Dr Tran, and all that I learned from him, will always be remembered.
God Bless,
Corey T. Jackson (Suzanne B. Jackson CEO Dominion Hospital)
