Patient Reviews
Jul 25, 2024
The entire practice runs like a well oiled machine. Went to Dr Friedman originally for cataract surgery. The doctor found some further issues that he will monitor. The surgery was a breeze and the staff is amazing. Dr Friedman has an incredible bed-side manner. Even called me at home that evening to check on me. That really blew me away. Can’t go wrong with this group.
