Top notch, first class. There’s not enough room here to say enough words. Period. If I could, there would be ***** +2. Thank you for the consult, I KNOW that it put you behind for the rest of your day. -kk. Follow up after surgery for total hip replacement — I can’t say enough good things about OrthoCarolina and the staff and especially Dr. Friedman. There’s not enough room on this page to sing the praises and not enough stars. **1-yr since THA; - I'm pain free, mobile, and have no hip joint issues. Anyone experiencing hip pain or considering a replacement, PLEASE visit OCarolina and Dr, Friedman, they are fantastic -- the staff is great. Also the Atrium Cleveland (or whatever they changed the name to this year) - Joint Academy is wonderful, the stay after surgery (though I'd rather not have been there) was excellent and the top notch. They along with OCarolina have 1st-class staff.

Both my husband and myself have been patients of Dr.Friedman in the past. We would recommend him to all. He is truly a caring Dr, and takes time to talk to you and explain things in a way you can understand.
