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.

I love that he is excellent in explaining everything to where you can understand what is going on and what needs to be done. if you don't get it, he draws pictures. I can tell you from experience, Dr. Friedman in committed to patients and their well being, he truly cares. I heard recently that he is one of the top hematologist in San Antonio. That's awesome.

Complete Professional
The good thing about Dr. Friedman is he takes his time to explain your health issues. This causes him to be somewhat late for appointments in the afternoon. However, he is a complete gentleman and explains things thoroughly. We should feel lucky to have an MD such as Dr. Friedman.

Great doctor and human being
Dr Friedman is a very caring human being and doctor. Every appointment I have had with him has been outstanding in that he has explained everything from lab reports to treatment plans. He takes the time to listen to what the patient says and responds giving a clear picture of solutions to concerns and problem solving.

He saved my life!
Dr. Friedman took me on after I fired my original oncologist. He fit me in 2 days before Christmas. He was kind, compassionate, knowledgeable, He took the time to explain things to me, answered my questions, never rushed. When waiting for appointments, if he would see me, he would walk over and give me a hug and tell me he would be with me soon. He does run behind, BUT that is because he is treating another patient EXACTLY like he treats you. He remembers you and things about you, like your occupation, your spouses name, small things that make you feel like you are important. And, you are important to him! Highly recommend this amazing doctor!

Treatment of chronic Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma
I was blessed to have Dr. Friedman as my oncologist. I truly believe it was an act of God that I ended up with him. I suppose the easiest thing to say is that he is the best at what he does. There is none better.
