Dr. Friedman was very helpful and gave me a lot of information about what the issues were with my stomach. She had given me the best advice and even drew a diagram to explain the type of surgery I am going to have.

I worked in healthcare for 25 years. Dr. Friedman (and her entire staff) have provided me with excellent care since I've met her in May 2024 she is always aware of my complete health picture; monitoring tests & procedure results from other MD's. I have never met a physician like Dr. Freidman. She listens to my concerns & explains the next treatment plans.

I will absolutely recommend to friends and family, as I was recommended to come here.

She took the time to explain everything. I'm sorry I didn't start with her

5 out of 5 stars

Dr Friedman has a knack for making an upcoming surgery understandable and so much less terrifying to laymen. Her genuine kindness and Give a Damn are a real comfort.
