I first visited Dr. Friedman 29 years ago and have been a patient ever since. Dr. Friedman diagnosed Melanoma and in doing so saved the life of a 23 year old. He is a practical, strightforward doc, who is outstanding at his profession. An added plus is his bedside manner, kind and caring. Office staff friendly and accommodating.
