Patient Reviews
Apr 09, 2019
Dr Friedgood has been my Dr. for over 30 yrs. I was having seizures and my previous Dr. ran out of "ideas" how to help me, Dr. Friedgood was my life saver. I was allergic to most seizure medicines and he never accepted that "some" seizures were ok. He persisted until he found a drug that actually controlled all of my seizures.When I entered menopause, I developed GrandMal seizures. He found a new drug and I have been seizure free over 10yrs now.He will be greatly missed as he is now retiring.
