Thomas Hoang’s journey to Texarkana began from Vietnam, where he lived with his family in the war-torn country. Now a highly recognized cardiovascular thoracic surgeon, Dr. Hoang recently began calling Texarkana “home” after relocating from the Dallas/Plano, Texas area to join CHRISTUS Trinity Clinic-Cardiovascular and Thoracic Surgery. His passage to Northeast Texas seems almost inconceivable as the physician humbly describes the days, weeks and years that brought him to our community.
