Patient Reviews
Dec 16, 2024
I have follow up zoom visit with Dr. Friedberg every year. I had cancer in the upper lobe of my right lung 12 years ago. Dr. Friedberg operated then to remove the lobe. Not only did he cure my cancer, but his method was so skillful and minimally invasive that I had a very easy recovery from the surgery. This in contrast to reports on web sites by patients who had the same surgery from other doctors and reported very difficult and long recoveries from their surgery. Dr. Friedberg is a pioneer in ways to make lung surgery as minimally invasive as possible.
