Dr. Christine Tran Hoang is a Bay Area native who always knew she wanted to become a veterinarian. After earning her Bachelor’s degree in Animal Science at UC Davis, she developed a passion for oncology through her work in comparative oncology research, where she saw how clinical trials in dogs could inform cancer treatments in people.

After completing veterinary school and oncology training in the Midwest, Dr. Tran is excited to return to California and serve the East Bay community. She is committed to supporting families — from diagnosis and treatment planning through chemotherapy treatments and end-of-life care— helping them make informed, compassionate choices.

Outside of work, Dr. Tran enjoys traveling, discovering new restaurants with her husband, baking, crocheting, and playing board games. She shares her home with four beloved pets: a Doberman named Suki and three cats—Momo, Bumi, and Toph.
