Dr. Friedman was very thorough and did not make me feel rushed. He was very informative and put my mind at ease about my son’s medical treatments. As a mom of a special needs adult who can’t speak for himself, Dr. Friedman was a breath of fresh air !

Exam and consultation was performed by PA and then Dr Friedman. The appointment centered on a proposed med change. Dr. Friedman agrees with the change to help alleviate an unwanted side effect. I believe Dr Friedman’s opinion to be one of high value in this case.

I have been seeing Dr Friedman for a while and when giving me results of tests he truly cares about the patient. Then he lets you know how we can work on the results and work towards getting better results. Thank you Dr Friedman
