Dr.Friedline is a very good Doctor, very knowledgeable, takes his time to see his patients , unfortunately he is affiliated with Suarez who is taking over most of the Dr's making a medical group and never once sees how his office manager never once does nothing about those she employs which she's got all of her daughters , family friends, and her son working in the office , and no one can complain about her because she's the general office manager that manages all of the offices in el centro, Calexico, Brawley and Imperial! So if you have a complaint good luck , she thinks she's being taken advantage of her position!

Dr. Friedline is wonderful! By far the best doctor I have ever been to. He always takes the time to answer all questions you have and makes sure you understand everything he has to tell you. He has even drawn diagrams to make sure I understand! He is never judge mental and always cares about you as a person and not just a co-pay.

My family has been treated by Dr Friedline since 1999.In an extreme emergency with my husband in 2006, Dr Friedline kept him alive when other doctors gave up hope. Dr Friedline still conducts checkups on my husband every 3 months.Dr Friedline is the most competent doctor from whom we have ever received treatment.A complete and extremely informative progress and treatment explanation is given at every appointment.Dr Friedline has even been available at 3:00am in the morning on more than one emergency situation.
