Congratulations to Dr. OH Frazier who was honored by his hometown with a proclamation and a key to the city of Stephenville.

CITY OF STEPHENVILLE HONORS DR. FRAZIER --Stephenville native and former Tarleton State student Dr. O.H. “Bud” Frazier returned home to be honored with a proclamation and a key to the city.
One of the world’s top transplant and mechanical circulatory support surgeons, Dr. Frazier has performed over 1,200 heart transplants. During the 1970s and 80s, he conducted experimental work toward developing an implantable left ventricular assist device (LVAD). Since then, he has implanted more than 900 LVADs, the most of any surgeon in the world. In 2011, Dr. Frazier implanted the first successful continuous-flow total artificial heart using two second generation HeartMate II LVADs to replace a patient’s failing heart.
He credits his upbringing in Erath County as a key catalyst for his storied career.
“Growing up in Stephenville offered me and my contemporaries a great advantage that we probably didn’t appreciate until later,” said Dr. Frazier. “Importantly, we went to school together with the same students every day. We knew everyone from every strata of Stephenville society; a lawyer’s son, farmer’s son, carpenter’s daughter, etc.
“This I think gave you a great advantage in life and I think remains an important advantage of growing up in a community like Stephenville. This is a particular benefit to anyone in professional life — particularly a doctor — that requires an understanding and empathy for all walks of life.”
