Dr. Caroline Friedman, MD

Dr. Friedman delivered my baby girl. She was compassionate, professional, and patient. I was worried that I might end up needing a C-section as I was so exhausted but she ended up really helping me get through the delivery. I could tell she was incredibly experienced and am so grateful she was there to deliver my baby girl!

I am a Physician and Professor of Medicine at Columbia. I saw Dr. Friedman for an office visit. What an Outstanding Young Physician. When we train Young Physicians we Hope That they will turn out like this Young Woman. Bright, Articulate, Empathetic, and Highly Skilled. A True Gem.

being a first time mom is stressful especially when you are high risk! She always seems like she is rushing and is so curt, dry and doesn't seem to care. She ended up being the doctor on call when I finally gave birth and I hated everything about how she handled me. She was so off putting and made you feel like you were a nuisance. As far as I know when you are high risk and a first time mom you have the right to be nervous and ask as many questions as you want and the doctor is supposed to be the one to calm you down and provide answers and some sort of comfort. She also did my son's circumcision and she gave no follow up instructions, didn't check in on my son after it was done. I ended up contacting a nurse before being discharged who then got me in touch with a different pediatrician that I could talk to. This woman was the worst part of my birthing experience. She needs some bedside manner classes or get into a different field where people may not need as much comfort and support… from their doctors. High risk pregnant hormonal women don't need this!

apathetic, uncompassionate , extremely dry personality & she has no business working in a high risk obgyn office
