“Dr. Friedman saved my life. On November 30, 2023, after a routine check-up (physical), I was diagnosed with arrhythmia with fibrillation. I was hospitalized for 18 days until I underwent a procedure performed by Dr. Friedman, which was a success. I am grateful to God for Dr. Friedman’s life, for giving me back a normal life again.”

Consider yourself lucky if you’re a patient of Dr. Friedman. Prior to my cryoablation he answered all my questions and addressed any concerns. The operation was successful. His staff was friendly and informative. I have nothing but high marks for Dr. Friedman.

Yes, Dr. Friedman can be right to the point, and seem somewhat Clinical. It was his skills, confidence, and technical expertise I needed. I was not looking for a warm and fuzzy relationship with my Doctor, I had A-fib that could not be managed with medication and needed results! He performed a cryo-ablation almost four years ago fixed the a-fib, zero incidents since. His expertise allowed me to return to my active life with no medication. Sometimes patient needs the "subject matter expert" who demonstrates confidence in his abilities. Perceived arrogance on someone's level is seen as confidence by others. Always pick the technical expert!

Arrogant, condescending, rude, does not listen. He over medicated my mother and when she complained about feeling drugged and was slurring speech, he ignored her. She ended up in ER where another cardiologist was called in who LISTENED and successfully changed her medication. I have never experienced such rudeness by a doctor and I have been to many!

Dr. Friedman is the most condescending, arrogant, and pompous man I have ever met, and his manner should be reported to the Board of Medicine for disciplinary action.
