Patient Reviews
Aug 23, 2022
Flying out from Charleston, SC to San Diego to have my surgery with Dr. Friedman and Dr. Schwartz was the best decision I have every made in my life! They performed a retrosigmoid carniotomy on my 2.3 cm acoustic neuroma and not only got the whole tumor out but were able to preserve my hearing! The best at what they do!
