A microcosm of all that's bad about psychiatrists. A greedy, angry, unpredictable & unprofessional jerk.

I felt very uncomfortable with this doctor. I felt he spoke to me with a very angry tone & I don't know why.

The staff is very caring - better than professional. Dr. Friedman is by far the best psychiatrist I have ever treated with. He and his staff take time to listen, do a comprehensive evaluation, and are effective in devising a meaningful treatment plan. They have made a huge difference in my life.I highly recommend him and his staff. They are all exceptional!
