Last Friday I had the opportunity to be treated by Dr. José with Jackie. I thank God for having found them and I am sure that they will solve the situation in my heart. My God bless the doctor's knowledge and recommendations, which demonstrate, through the treatment I felt, the human burden of his being. Jackie, I hope the same blessings for you, because your patience in finding me an exam that didn't give me claustrophobia showed me your big heart in the good sense of the word. Thank you Doctor Jose, Claudio N.

Dr LeFran has been my Cardiologist since 2011. He has always given me the best care. He takes time to listen, uses the necessary tests to diagnose and makes good assessments. He doesn’t over react, nor does he ignore important steps necessary to take appropriate measures for situations and circumstances that mandate them. I am thankful that Dr LeFran is my doctor. I trust him.

I moved to Florida a few months ago and wanted to establish connections_relationships with New Physicians. Dr. LeFran’s name was among “3” that were recommended. The choice was EASY because he had the Best Credentials, Experience and Highly Recommended By Colleagues and Patients. The timeline to see him was not long; typically standard for a new patient. MY visit was not due to any specific Heart Conditions or Problems; simply due to Preventative Measures and Examinations to ensure HeartHealth is Good! And establish a relationship with him_to have a Good Cardiologist among My Doctors for routine checkups and IF it is necessary. Dr. LeFran suggested certain examinations and tests; and a follow up appointment afterwards. He answered ALL my questions and concerns. Discussed prior medical history to better understand past and present healthcare and conditions. I did not feel RUSHED, nor was he RUSHING to see the Next Patient. Listened intently and showed genuine concern. The Staff Is Very, Very Professional! Whenever interacting on the phone or in-person. I Highly Recommend Dr. LeFran and Staff!

I have been going to Dr. Jose LeFran for 24 years. You will not be able to find a more caring and knowledgeable doctor. A friend of mine had a condition that many prestigious doctors in Boston were not able to diagnose. Dr. Lefran found the answer and saved him from what could have killed him eventually without the proper medicine.

Dr. Lefran is an excellent doctor who goes above and beyond to get to the root of a problem. My fiance lived in Boston and suffered with a problem that none of the doctors found there. It took living in Orlando and going to Dr. Lefran who found the answer. He had Addison's Disease. I could go on and on about how wonderful this doctor is but just mentioned one of his many qualities.
