Dr. David Howard Friedman, MD

Doesn't do anything to help my son,but meds Not satisfied Help ece

If there was a negative review or a way to report through Google I would do so. I have seen several medical professionals, and this man, by far is the most unnerving, unprofessional, and uncomfortable "doctor" I have ever come across. I was belittled, mocked, pushed into answering severely personal and inappropriate questions, and refused help or treatment after I simple would not answer a multiplication problem that had absolutely nothing to do with my appointment, medication, treatment, or history whatsoever. I am absolutely baffled, and never write reviews, to be honest this is my first. The level of fear, un-comfortability, and belittlement I felt was something I could never have imagined walking into the appointment. At this point, in my opinion, I am questioning if he is even an actual doctor. I will be reporting him with the BBB, AMA, and State Board. Please do not see this man, or allow someone you care about to.

This doctor thinks everyone is BIPOLAR and needs medication for that and severe depression. First, he over-pathologizes, then he over-medicates...CAUSING problems! Have spoken with others who had the same experience.

Seeing Dr. Friedman changed my life. One of the best decisions I made.

Dr David Friedman, is a very good Dr! He has helped me get it together! His front staff is very courteous, and fun. The best thing about Dr is that he will take his time with you when needed! All around great Dr.

I'm not sure if Im reading right! I made my appointment with ease, the Dr was very pleasant, the lady at the front desk was nice and helpful!, Dr Friedman got me on the road to a better place in my life! Seen now 5 times and I'm doing great!

Dr David is compassionate and professional. He cares and is very smart.

I'd never been to a psychiatrist so it was really a struggle to get myself to his office in the first place. None of my friends had been to a psych, so I had no point of reference. Thought I was being resourceful using annual "Top Doctors," supposedly reviews/rankings are by peers. I cannot IMAGINE how he made that list, perhaps he's buddies w/the small handful of Dr's who vote? He made me feel shameful & borderline ridiculed (I am NOT exaggerating), treating me as if I had some alterior motive for being there. I don't know what experiences he's had w/past patients, but LET IT GO or find another profession ... talking to him was WORSE than dealing w/my issues on my own. The most unprofessional,uncaring, insensitive doctor I've EVER experienced. I was more depressed walking out of his office than when I walked in! (NOT a joke)

Weird, condescending and cold with no empathy to either patient or parent.

He spends a lot of time asking yes/no questions and doesn't really have any interest in listening to anything you have to say that isn't part of his questionnaires. Also, not a big fan of a doctor trashing other doctors' treatments. Whether or he believes in taking another course of action, to me, it just isn't profesional (in any profession). I'll be cancelling my next appt.
