If anyone needs open heart surgery Dr. Mac is your surgeon and Medical Heart Dallas is your hospital. They were both fabulous. My son Kyle needed emergency Heart Valve surgery. And there were no beds at Baylor Heart or UT Southwestern. And the doctors suggested were vacation. But Amber his girlfriend with her tenacity and effort to save my son's life got him into Medical Heart and Spine and with Dr. Macannaford. We couldn't be happier with the care and the service. The surgery went great he was in ICU 1.5 days. The nurses were on him 24/7 keeping him comfortable and out of pain. I am glad those other 2 didn't work out so that we ended up here. They literally saved Kyle's life. I can't say enough they are a 10 star hospital and Dr. MAC is and10 star heart surgeon. Will, Tiffany and Jordan his nurses were awesome. Checked on him all the time and kept him completely out of pain. I hope this helps someone. JillK

My son Kyle went to 2 hospitals until he found out he had a bicusbid aortic valve problem. Dr. Juan Machannaford was just wonderful. Best bedside manner explained everything and made you feel comfortable. Excellent surgeon he fixed his valve and he was in ICU in no time. In excellent condition. I can't say enough about him and Medical Heart and Spine hospital Dallas. When you look for a heart doctor to put your life in Dr. Machannaford is your man. I hope this helps someone. JillK

Dr. MacHannaford is my husbands thoracic surgeon. He completed one of the most extensive and complex repairs to my husbands aorta. I know this surgery was beyond typical. Not only is he one of the best in his field, but he is kind, caring, communicative. No need to seek out other doctors. He has a gift for doing exactly what he is doing.
