Laura M DeFraia, NP

She was very good at hearing my concerns and providing facts and information to get to the main health issues

Feel very comfortable with her. I feel respected and she does not make think I am being “talked down “ to.

She cares about my overall health.

Easy to talk to. Very personable. Was up to date on my medical history and prescribed the meds I needed .

She was very knowledgeable and put me at ease right away

She provided me with more information on what's going on with my body than I have received in the last 3 yrs

Laura, is a great listener, knows her stuff and explains things in a way that’s not demeaning or condescending. She also works WITH you on a plan with options.

She was great

Love having her as my provider. I hope Corewell provides support to the office as well so I don’t ever get pushed off my yearly scheduled visits. The wait can become long and worrisome if I ever need to reschedule.

Laura, is an exceptional provider!

I had a telehealth appointment. The screener did not sign on until at least 5 to 7 minutes past the scheduled appointment time. Once done with her, I waited for at least an additional 20 to 30 minutes for the doctor to come on. Not really what I’ve come to expect with telehealth appointments.

Helpful and thoughtful advice

I have been having a three year issue with my hip and leg area and Laura referred me to a different kind of Physical Therapist. She just seems to know services and can recommend new ways to treat an old Problem.

She seemed irritated and annoyed at the recommendations I had received from another provider. It felt personal. I found her recommendations to be vague. I didn’t feel like she was listening to me-more focused on telling me what she wouldn’t have recommended had I seen her first (which I couldn’t because I couldn’t get an appointment for 6 months). I left a bit confused and also feeling ashamed because I had followed another provider’s recommendation.

She is very throughal and easy to talk to. She's kind and caring.

She's my advisor for female issues. I trust her....

Laura's great. I feel very comfortable with her.

A little condescending, otherwise knowledgeable, clear, and helpful.

She’s perfect! What more can I say, but thank you!

She was AWESOME!! She's one of a kind. She listened AND heard ALL of my concerns. Addressed them without judgment. I would like to become her patient 🙂.

In addition to what I have already given a rating for, I appreciated that Laura took the time to look up the cost of the prescriptions we were discussing. This made a big impact on me. Also Laura was really comfortable to talk with and learn from.

She presents with a strong bedside. She's short and quick to be condemning. "I told you this last time." Other than that, I feel she has excellent expertise in this very specialized field and wants to see her patients' quality of life improve.

I really felt like she cared.

Caring good listener. Great provider.

I think I provided it in the first section but she is wonderful. She listens to me and makes me feel like no question is dumb. She doesn't rush me either and helps be informed on my healthcare.

She listened to my concerns.

Would highly recommend her

Listened to my concerns

Laura was a pleasure and I felt very confident in her treatment.

Her knowledge on the subject of menopause (and perimenopause) is outstanding. She explained it very well to me.

Phenomenal provider

Laura is very knowledgeable, easy to talk to and willing to refer me for services that I need.

Very responsive and helpful.

Very good

Laura is absolutely awesome! She is professional, knowledgeable, friendly, nice, kind and considerate. She is an expert in performing the physical exam, while making you feel at ease. She also manages your care fully and completely, making suggestions along the way. I really appreciate having her as my provider!

I feel comfortable with her, she listens to me, I feel Heard, she offers good solid direction, with alternatives giving me an opportunity to make the best choices for myself.

Laura is very knowledgeable and explained things very clearly.

She was very technical, not hearing or validating my emotions.

Great experience

I’ve recommended Laura to several family and friends!

She was very helpful and explained everything so well and listened to my questions

Professional, caring, knowledgeable.

I appreciated how she leaned in to listen and wasn’t typing on keyboard as I was talking 😉

Im a nurse. I don't feel like I was listened too. I felt incredibly depressed when I left to the point of tears. I felt defeated. I've struggled with my weight my whole life! Telling me I'm overweight and the answer is meds when I'm telling you even a weight loss pill caused extreme GI upset isn't listening. Meds are not a healthy way to lose weight and cost money. Weight loss is diet, exercise, and definitely a mental game! How about help in those areas? I've been at this up and down weight for 50 years...and in health care for over 40 years. Yes I want to lose weight! It's not easy! But some emotional support would be great. I'll seek it on my own. I'll find a way on my own. I know where to look...but do your other pts? Just frustrated. Listen. Treat the pt individually. Don't treat the computer. Everyone is different. Pts want to be heard. Hope this helps someone in the future.

Part of my discomfort was due to my provider's retirement. I'm not sure the new one is a good fit. What she offers seems to be more narrowly focused

She needs to work on her bedside manners.

I appreciate the focus on middle-aged women, and / or menopause. I am grateful for the knowledge, expertise and effort by Laura to help me feel my best. Providers like Laura are valued.

She was very informative and caring
