Richard Lee Friedman

Dr Friedman is the best doctor I have. He really cares about his patients and sincerely wants to help them.

Excellent skillful physician with great knowledge

Dr Richard Friedman spent a good one hour reviewing my case and answered all my questions. During my surgery I had a total hysterectomy and more to clean out my ovarian cancer. I had 2 ports inserted in my body with an outpatient surgery, followed by a total of 18 chemos (6 cycles) and now I’m on a maintenance medication. Even though I’ve gone through many difficulties, but I’m doing great because of Dr Friedman and his efforts. He is so carrying and simply the best in this field.

Dr. Richard L. Friedman is absolutely amazing! Hearing I have a growing tumor, very likely ovarian cancer can be terrifying, but having an experienced, knowledgeable, honest and amazing Doctor really helps. I was referred to Dr. Friedman and from the first visit he put me at ease and explained everything in detail, 2 weeks later I was having a full hysterectomy, thank God I was in Dr. Friedman's hands, I'm very grateful and recommend him 100%. It is hard to get through his office by phone, but it's worth the wait, he's a life saver.

The best . He saved my life

Very nice & dedicated dr.love him a lot

hurry up and wait for 2 hours and never a word from receptionist oh he;s running late , saw 12 people come in after me and went in while i waited. rebooked, now can't reach office to cancel due to back issues, now for over 1 1/2 hours all lines busy waited 10 minutes 1 st time 6 calls later 5 each i will be a no show today can't drive on pain meds and will not sit and hurry up and wait.

Dr. Friedman, while often abrupt, is very direct and clear, which is most efficient and effective. He performed a complete hysterectomy on me; that was very well done, as was the follow-up care. I heal quickly and was back to work in under two weeks. He saved my life, as he has others'. Roxanne, his receptionist, is a gem. The rest of his staff exhibit highly variable attitudes, particularly Zhonna, whom I will not see again, even if it means losing Dr. Friedman. Finally, it's impossible to speak to a live person. The intial recorded response often instructs one to call back during office hours -- even when one calls an hour after the office supposedly is open. It's also impossible to leave a message. In four years, I've never been able to get through to anyone and must stop by the office to change appointments, etc. Overall, thus far, at least, Dr. Friedman's experience and expertise have been worth the other aggravations.

I was referred by my Gyn & was happy to learn he was also recommended by several friends once they learned I was seeing Dr. Friedman. All 4 of them were surgery success stories. The wait was long, but worth it. I was very upset & anxious about my case. He put me at ease, explained the best options & answered my questions. The wait is almost unbearably long, but after the first visit, you'll find it is worth it. I was told he's in surgery 3 days a week - a dedicated surgeon who has limited office time. His staff is busy & it's hard to get through at times, but I found Zhanna, Roxanne & Vanessa understanding & helpful. Christine is very patient, direct & efficiently fields any questions you throw at her about surgery, insurance road blocks & other headaches. If you must see a Gyn-Onc, Dr. Friedman is the specialist you want to see. (Don't expect any coddling, he has no time for that, but you will get a matter-of-fact expert opinion & a very experienced surgeon).

dont let staff put you off
