    How was your appointment with Dr. Friedman?

    Dec 20, 2022
    Dr Friedman took on the task of repairing my right shoulder. After being in constant pain for many years he discovered that my rotator cuff was beyond repair and that he recommended a shoulder replacement. I did not doubt his findings and agreed to allow him to use his expertise to help me improve my life. And he did. Every time that I visited his office I was treated with the utmost respect and consideration by his staff. Dr Friedman has the ultimate bedside manner. He knows how to calm your nerves by explaining whatever is in need of clarification. I never felt hurried or rushed while I was in the office with him. I am so grateful to him.
