Patient Testimonials

		"Originally I started going to Dr. Friedman on the recommendation of my friend. I continued because of the way I was treated. The entire staff is friendly, caring, and sympathetic. Dr .Friedman treats the whole person not just the ailment. He is very honest and up front; he does not beat around the bush. He has you get dressed and go into his office to talk rather than speak to you while you are on the exam table---this makes you feel a whole lot more comfortable. One time he found out I was in the hospital after I ran into his nurse Holly in the hall, so that night he stopped in to visit me---for no other reason than because he cares about me as a person. Dr. Friedman should teach bedside manner classes. He is very thorough when he treats your ailments, and checks to see how you are recovering when you go home. I was having some emotional problems which I was attributing to menopause. He sent me to see a very good therapist and now all is well."
		"I have been a patient of Dr. Friedman's since 1973, and I would not even consider going to another Gynecologist. I have stayed with him primarily for one reason: his "bedside manner". He delivered my two children and made those experiences, very happy ones. He even remembered to send a birthday card when my first born turned one. Throughout this 30 plus years he has made me feel as if I were his only patient. He is easy to talk to, his office staff is always courteous, and they exude not only confidence but genuine concern for their patients. When I first went to Dr. F. he had a one nurse office. As his practice has grown, he has not lost that personal touch, and he has surrounded himself with an office staff that shares his concern for people."
		"I have been Dr. Friedman’s patient since 1995. I was referred to him by a family member when my current doctor was no longer under my insurance plan. The first time in his office, I fell in love with the ladies on his staff and I thought his professionalism was top notch. Dr. Friedman delivered my two daughters in 2002 and 2004, and I am expecting again. I would not think of going to anyone else. He is very thorough and he takes great pride in making his patients feel special and important. He makes me feel there are no stupid questions. He wants his patients to leave his office knowing he has done everything he could to take care of them and make them happy. Holly, his main nurse, has been so supportive. She is genuinely concerned about how I feel and is always there to answer my questions when I call. She loves my girls and helps out with them during my checkups. The other ladies—Carol, Kathy, and Karen--stay on top of their jobs and seem to make a great team. I think that Dr. Friedman is an exceptional doctor and friend. I would recommend him to anyone, young or old, needing an OBGYN."
		"Dr. Friedman has been a great doctor and friend for more than thirty years: dedicated, kind, understanding, and an excellent listener. His competence over the years has earned my total confidence. Although he treats every woman in my family, he maintains patient/doctor confidentiality—totally. I will always remember the night he appeared at Hermann Hospital when we were there for Debby L’s liver transplant. He stayed with us for hours, comforting and encouraging. He is a special person and I wish him the best of life, professionally and personally."
		"Amidst the chaos of new motherhood, I realized I neglected to say a few words about the staff: they are wonderful folks! Thanks to all."
		"My first visit to Dr. Friedman’s office was in May 1997. I had just experienced countless doctor visits and tests to identify the cause of my pain. After 5 minutes in Dr. F’s office, he diagnosed the source of my pain and made an appointment to correct the problem. He is a MIRACLE MAN, I thought. I had always said that I would never have a “male” OB, but after seeing Dr. Friedman, I soon realized he is more thorough than any female I had ever seen. He asked questions no OB/GYN had ever asked. His exams are quick and he’s to the point. He is a great doctor, and he has a great staff. Last August I have birth to my first child. I can’t imagine any other doctor delivering my baby."
		"I don’t recall how I found Dr. Friedman, but it’s been wonderful ever since. He’s been my doctor for over 20 years. He was responsible for bringing my daughter into the world. Just a few years ago, he also brought my sister’s daughter into the world. Now he’s my daughter’s doctor as well. Over the years, Dr. F. and his staff have shown us great concern and caring above and beyond the call of duty, even for issues unrelated to the role of an OB/GYN. How many nurses come to visit you after surgery or call you at home? It is a rarity to see a doctor and his staff remain so constant year after year. To me, the low employment turnover rate is an enormous indicator that the staff is happy. It just feels like family! I’ve referred Dr. Friedman to my family and friends and they all rave about him. I hope Dr. Friedman and his staff continue providing the excellent care for a long time to come."
		"I highly recommend Dr. Friedman as a doctor. I’ve been going to him for about 15-16 years. He is easy to talk to and takes the time to listen. Dr. F will also take time to explain what’s going on, even if sometimes it’s not exactly what you want to hear. He is an extremely honest doctor. "
