Took my teenage daughter as a last resort. She was abrasive and insensitive. The last straw was her fat shaming my daughter and telling her it was lack of will power and poor choice Not the meds that were increasing her appetite and causing sudden weight gain. We nicknamed her Dr. Prescribe-a-pill. Every session ended with an increase in dosage or the addition of a new med. We left after a few months. My daughter is being weaned off most of the medications. Do your loved one a favor..... Do yourself a favor...find someone else. Don't settle.

She is the rudest, most condescending person I have ever met. She is no help as a shrink. Check with your insurance before you go to her as she has taken a deductable from me when I don't have a deductable & refuses to return my money. Although I am reporting her to the insurance, the AMA & the better business bureau. So I will get my money. Do yourself a favor and don't even go to her.

Dr. Friedman was excellent. She made me feel comfortable and was down to earth. I really look forward to her trying to break me down.

She can't remember from visit to visit anything about me. All she does is dispense drugs. Check your explanation of benefits from your insurer to make sure the billing has been reported accurately.
