Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

It doesn't surprise me that this doctor has bad reviews. They are total scammers. They didn't tell my mom that she was out-of-network until the day of her appointment. So she SHOWS up to the appointment and the admin then tells her she is out-of-network. She obviously wants to utilize the insurance she pays for every month, so she politely tells them she is going to find another provider that is in-network with her insurance and leaves their office. She then later receives a bill from their office for a NO SHOW ($200 and she never even saw the doctor, she never even got past the reception and was in the office for less than 5 minutes) even though she showed up to the appointment. TOTAL SCAMMERS! I am reporting this to the medical board as well!

Doctor is great. SCENT stinks.
Have seen Dr Friedman multiple times over the years with good results. Today we went in for a followup at the Palmdale SCENT location, and were told we could not see the doctor unless we gave them a credit card number. We are both Medicare primary with secondary insurance that pays whatever Medicare doesn't, up to Medicare allowance. All previous bills were paid in full, on time by Medicare and secondary. In spite of our excellent payment and credit history, we were turned away (denied service) because we wouldn't give them a credit card number. None of our many other doctors or hospitals have required a credit card in order to be seen. Every instance of that card number being in questionably secure files is just added risk that it will be compromised.Sorry Dr. Friedman, we will not be seeing you again as long as you work under the SCENT stink.

I was referred to Dr. Friedman by the Henry Mayo Emergency Dr. for a nose bleed that wouldn't stop. Dr. Friedman was able to diagnose the problem and stopped the bleeding. During his exam, he observed a spot on my face that was possibly cancerous. He took a biopsy and determined that it was cancerous. After a second appointment, he removed the cancer. I found him to be very patient and caring. He always took the time to anser any questions I had.

Dr. Friedman performed a sinuplasty on me 3 weeks ago. I had been unable to breath out of my nose especially at night. Not a very nice way to sleep. It was not immediate but today I can breath out of my nose with very little obstruction if any and sleeping is 100% better. Highly recommend Dr. Adam Friedman!!!

Besides having my confidence that he is knowledgeable and well trained, Dr. Friedman is personable and down to earth and treats me as a person not just a patient. He explains things thoroughly and listens to what you have to ask and say. I never have waited more that ten minutes over the six years I have been going to him. I highly recommend him.

I would highly recommend Dr. Friedman to anyone looking for a great ENT doctor. After numerous years of not breathing correctly, and having to be put on inhalers, and coughing constantly, I was finally sent to see Dr. Friedman. I am so thankful for that. I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Friedman, from his expertise to his great bedside manner. Everyone in the office was very friendly and professional – a great experience from start to finish!

I just had opportunity to meet with Dr.Fridman in his office as a patient due to my recent Ear problem. Since I am in the medical field myself, I am writing this review as professional as well as an ordinary patient. I was impressed with his care and bedside manner, and careful assessment and explanation of his treatment plan. I am sure I am in good hands and highly recommend dr. Friedman for any ENT problems. His staff at the Front Desk and Back Office all very kind and professional.
