    Very knowledgeable in his field. The first time I saw him, after seeing another doctor at this complex for years, he knew exactly what my problem was. I was going to change doctors and then he came along and this was a good opportunity for me.

    He is an excellent doctor, very thorough, he explains test results and any questions you may have. He listens to what you have to say and then answers any questions. I highly recommend Dr. Friedman

    More than two weeks after my appointment there is still no After Visit Summary or EKG test result or scan in my chart. I requested this be added two days ago, have not yet heard back. I also asked when my heart monitor results would be in. In addition, the medical assistant put the heart monitor on incorrectly - much too low - and I had to take it off and reapply it according to the instructions. She had an unpleasant attitude overall, lacking respect.

    On my first visit with Dr Friedman he had already reviewed my medical history and medications and was prepared to discuss my reasons for my visit. He had an EKG done then to review with me and then suggested tests he wanted me to get done for future review and suggested some medication changes. Answered all my questions and concerns. Entire appointment was not rushed and I was confident in his expertise. A few days later he called to review tests with me. Excellent doctor..
