Bruce Fred Friedman

I have had an atrocious experience with this practice. I needed diagnosis and treatment for severe allergies. I found this practice and read good reviews about it so I decided to come here to get diagnosed and treated. I had a pleasant first appointment and enjoyed a good conversation with Dr. Friedman, similar to how other patients have commented about his good and engaging personality. Dr. Friedman said that I needed to get allergy tested and to stop taking Zyrtec in order to conduct those tests. I explained that this would be very difficult for me since its the only method of controlling my flares but he insisted and prescribed Cortisone saying that it will control my symptoms for several days before the test. Everything went south from that point onward. Cortisone did not control my symptoms and and I got severe flares all over my body. For the next 48 hours, I tried day and night to connect with the doctor to discuss and failed. The office staff at his 16300 Sand Canyon office… is the most inhumane and uncaring group of individuals that I have ever interacted with. They would alternate between 'Nothing we can do for you' to 'You can't speak to the doctor' to 'We will page the doctor' and I never received any response back while suffering through my symptoms. So I just persevered through excruciating pain and went to get the tests done. I needed to do two tests, a food allergy and an environmental allergy test. On the day of the test, the office person said I will need to do them on two separate days. When I explained that I have severe symptoms and need to get both of them done to get back to my medication, her exact belligerent responses were: 'I don't have time For You today' When I pushed back citing my condition, I got a different response: 'Well if we do both of them today, then the insurance will not pay for both!' When I said that this has nothing to do with patient care and that I need to see the Dr. to discuss, I finally got told: 'No you can't see the doctor, there is nothing we can do for you, and if you are not feeling well, just go to urgent care..!'. Those are the exact words uttered by a person who should never be in the field of providing patient care at any level. At that point, I got up and left the office without doing the test as I genuinely feared for my long term care If I started my actual treatment with an office that so blatantly prioritizes financials over a patient's well being and refuses to provide basic patient care between 'paid' appointments. I will be looking for a different practice to get help, one that understands and respects the Hippocratic Oath for what it truly stands for.

I had previously been to 5 (!), yes, FIVE Allergists over my teen, young adult and adult years (including a full allergy work up at Scripps, 10 yrs ago!) - and NONE OF THE OTHERS uncovered what was causing my year-round allergies! I was stuffed-up, coughing, sneezing and had constant sinus headaches! Since seeing Dr.FRIEDMAN for the last 6 years, I feel like a new (and YOUNGER!) person! I only take shots and a daily nasal spray and finally not feeling worn out all the time from my allergies! Not a fan of shots, but his staff quickly makes my 4 weekly shots almost unnoticeable! (THEY are also very talented!). I see lots of little kids in there, happy and HEALTHY, getting their shots as well as, retirees. (Dr. FRIEDMAN also has a great sense of humor and will make you laugh!). SO THANKFUL to Dr.FRIEDMAN and his staff. They ALWAYS make me feel better! THANK YOU!!

Dr. Friedman is the best physician in his field, period. I have been a patient for over 20 years. His staff is always courteous and first-rate professional. I have never left this Doctor's care with any concern after treatment was completed. My current Medical Insurance does not cover visits to his office, and I still travel more than an hour one-way to be treated, it is very well worth it knowing that I am in the best of medical hands for any allergy or asthma related concerns.

doctor does not check for drug interaction

My husband and I have been going to him for 20 years. Our allergies have cleared up with his treatment and we now go for the (rare) flus and respiratory things that come along. I've sent others to him. They've all been pleased. He is kind, compassionate and a wonderful diagnostician. I don't feel rushed and he's very thorough. His staff will often call in prescriptions!

He is a great. I have my sickness cured 99.8%. Thank you doctor Friedman

He is a wonderful doctor. So happy to find an allergist like him. I will bring my other family members with asthma to see him . He is funny and smart too.
