Patient Reviews
Jan 16, 2024
Dr. DeFrain saved my husband’s life in 2008 in Michigan. Ron’s St. Jude mechanical mitral heart valve was coming loose. Dr. DeFrain was completely honest with both of us, telling him he had to have his affairs in order (which we did already). Dr. DeFrain was the nicest man, so caring and completely honest with us. It will be 14 years in August that Ron had his 2nd open heart surgery, that one being done by Dr. DeFrain. We will always be thankful for him and appreciate his medical expertise. Sincerely, Ron & Cindy Carlon
