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.

Repair of a hernia.
I needed a repair of a hernia repair by another doctor that had not gone well. Dr. Friedman listened to my concerns, and answered all of my questions. Made clear that he considered my problem to be very fixable. He is quick but thorough. Not given to wasting time. I had no issue with the time he took to explain my problem, and his proposed solution, to his two young interns. Did an excellent job that I am very satisfied with. I found his office staff to be friendly, helpful, and professional. I would recommend him to anyone.

The office staff is decent. I have never been comfortable with a physician's wife acting as the office manager. It lends to lack of professionalism. I found Dr. Friedman to be dismissive and he has an uncaring manner. He seems like a Doctor from another era that still thinks that physicians are superior to others. He carries that into his practice. He did not appear to have interest in what was going on and how to approach a curative strategy. I would not refer nor recommend.
