I would give a zero if I could. Our experience (2 visits) has been less than stellar. If you are looking for pediatric neurologist who can help you solve complex cases of neuro-immunological issues look somewhere else. This doctor is biased and simply unwilling to help in any practical tangible way.

My son has been a case that no specialist at LLUMC, OCH, or L.A. Children's hospital specialists could not figure out. 1 year after all my problem with my son started we finally have some answers. She has gone above and beyond to ensure the safety and correct diagnoses of my son happens. She takes her time with us in appointments, and has even pushed over appointments to see him same or next day. Even when he has been admitted into Rady's, she comes and checks in and works hand in hand with the other Dr's. I highly recommend her for all your Neuro reasons. She truly cares for her patients and families.

Dr. Friedman far exceeded my expectations. I did wait 2 months for an appt. but she was well worth the wait! She was patient, caring, and spent much time with us. I would absolutely recommend her.
