Heather Friedman-Cohen, MD

Zero stars if I can. I am 36 weeks pregnant and came in with a severe hemorrhoid and she didn’t even look at me. She sent me home and told me to wait it out. I came back 10 hours later and the other ER doctors were appalled that I was sent home and even more that the dr didn’t even look at it. This doctor is compassionless, condescending, zero bedside manner, extremely unprofessional, judgemental and rude. She has no right to be called a Doctor and should not be allowed to practice medicine

I came to Valley as I was in distress and pain. I was scared and anxious. This woman had zero bedside manners, no empathy, she invalidated my feelings, and she was so blatantly rude. I could not believe the way she was talking to me. I have never experienced such disrespect from a medical “professional”. For a place where one goes to feel relief, she caused even more emotion and panic. I was so upset by this visit. Reading this thread of reviews on her validates my concerns and I’m unsure how she is still employed.

ZERO STARS! This doctor is compassionless, condescending, zero bedside manner, extremely unprofessional, judgemental and rude. Do better, please! I will be contacting the hospital to make a complaint.

I would give 0 stars if I could. Dr. Friedman was the most unprofessional, condescending, demeaning Doctor I’ve ever dealt with, and is a disgrace to Valley Hospital’s name. She treated my daughter with zero dignity and blamed her serious, rare medical condition on her! She laughed when my daughter fell out of the hospital bed, and delayed her hospital transfer for over 24 hours. She spoke about my daughter and me with her staff in the hallway and said such horrible things I cried. Dr. Friedman should not be allowed to practice medicine.

Worst bedside manner I have ever encountered. People come into the ER because they feeling ill. Your total disregard and lack of compassion is inexcusable. Treating younger patients as differently than you would have an older patient is not acceptable, especially when our Urologist advised us to go to the emergency room due to the symptoms. you should have been a vet!

This doctor was incredibly condescending and rude, not only to myself, but to my son as well.I am appalled that Valley Hospital would hire someone like this. In all the years I have gone to this hospital, not once have I EVER come across such an unprofessional, uncaring doctor. I will be contacting the Hospital on Monday to report her.

This Dr. shouldn’t be Able to practice in a Pediatric Department She is a heartless person with a horrible attitude. I will never ever go there again if she is the Dr there. She is a discredit to the hospital, and I am shocked that Valley Hospital keeps such a monster practicing there.

excellent

Dr. Friedman-Cohen was wonderful with my daughter in the hospital. My daughter broke her wrist. She was very good at explaining the medical needs of the patient. she was very professional. she also had a wonderful bedside manner and calmed my daughter down. I would recommend her to any patient at Valley. She is an asset to the hospital.

We went to see a pediatrician at the emergency room and ended up facing this unprofessional and disrespectful person. She can’t be called a doctor,she doesn’t deserve it.You are a shame!
