Melanie H Friedlander, MD

The doctor was good! She explained everything and she was open to any questions I had.

She took the time to talk, she was not in a hurry. I felt she showed me respect.

Very professional n compassionate of all my feelings answered all my questions with patience

It felt a little rushed and impersonal

Dr. Friedlander excellent clinician, listens and provides information in a caring way.

Dr. Friedlander is not only an excellent surgeon. She has deep concern and empathy towards her patient. She is cheerful and very positive. I love her and I consider myself very fortunate to be under her care. Thank you, Cedar Sinai!

Caring, compassionate. Offered to make followup appt to save me the task for a procedure

My experience with Dr. Friedlander was such an amazing time in a very scary time for me and my husband. She put us at ease, explained everything in an understandable way, including using a diagram to show what she meant, and what my options were. She made me feel good about my decision and confident that things were going to work out. She was so wonderful that I was a little disappointed that we would not need to see each other again after my last post operation follow up appointment with her, but she said that I could still reach out to her anytime if I wanted.

Not only is Dr Friedlander precise and straight to the point. She is very knowledgeable and takes the time to explain step by step procedures and what the patient should expect, the outcome. The Uribe family would not have chosen any other surgeon for our mother's care.

Dr. Friedlander was very thorough explaining the procedure that she was going to perform. She also showed me a diagram of the breast and how she was going to perform the surgery. I am pleased to have her as my surgeon.
