Dr. Gavin Friedman MD

It was my second visit for which I was treated for depression. He made a major difference for me just in the way he listened to me and made himself available 24/7 in the event that I needed him. When was the last time a physician gave a patient a card with his contact info in case of an emergency? He's a fine professional with just the right amount of compassion.

Felt very comfortable and he said all of the right things that would make me want to make another appointment.

Good listener. Seems knowledable. Made himself available off hours if need be. Prescribed Rx's. We'll see how it all turns out, as I have follow-up appointmemnts.

Dr. Friedman is great!

The appointment started 15 minutes late, and ran for half an hour. He was apologetic about the delay, but I thought the appointment may run longer. Good beside manner, asked about my idea for a treatment plan instead of making a recommendation. Good overall, but we will just have to see how things develop.

Mine was an initial consultation. I felt Dr. Friedman was attentive to my needs, appeared quite informed on the medications we discussed.

Very Professional. It was my first appointment with Dr. Friedman and he will be continuing my management as my new DR. My time there was spent efficiently, analyzing my treatment plan and the course of action going forward I would be taking.

He cut our appointment short and want a great listener. I feel like he asks leading questions to prescribe you a formula based on his own first impression.

Extremely genuine and warm disposition, and extremely intelligent and thorough in his work.

I felt very at ease with Dr Friedman from the start of our sessions. He and I are both expats from the same country which was a added bonus.

His diagnosis was right on. He set up a treatment program and i also visit with him monthly. He gives you a full range of options on how you want to proceed. Dr. Friedman is great!

Professional, compassionate, and helpful.

Very understanding

Very knowledgeable and passionate about his profession

Great!

He is excellent. Focused and Understanding.

Professional, interested, kind and direct. I would definitely recommend him and see him again.

Very efficient, reliable, and in touch with your needs.

He was great. I was able to make an appointment the same day I looked. He was very respectful and knowledgeable. I did come knowing what exactly I needed. I can't vouch for deep rooted psychiatric help however, i did not receive this.

Very efficient and helpful. Good listener. Ready to get a plan going right away.

He doesn't come across as friendly or particularly approachable, but he seems committed. I think I rated him fairly, though I would like to emphasize that if you are looking for someone who is very warm and understanding, he doesn't seem to be the most empathetic psychiatrist. He seems more task oriented, like fixing the problem--this can potentially be a good thing--than interested in helping you to accept yourself and your feelings. Perhaps if you are ready for someone to challenge you, he might be the guy.

At the beginning of treatment he was engaged and interested. After a few months he seemed bored and disengaged, looking to write my prescriptions and rush me out of the office. Very disappointing.

Doctor does not understand or empathize anxiety conditions at all.

Professional, knowledgeable, good bedside manner. I recommend him.

Dr. Gavin was organized, focused and efficient. We accomplished a lot in a short time.

Felt very comfortable and feel like I am really able to work with him in regards to my issues. Highly recommend!!!

Dr. Friedman is great-- he has a sense of humor and pays close attention to your needs. He adjusted my prescription in a creative way to get the dosage just right, and has been really on the journey with me.

Dr. Friedman is an awesome doctor, very professional, quite experienced and extremely knowledgeable. My only reservation in offering my highest recommendation is that it may become more difficult to schedule an appointment with this excellent physician in the future. Six stars.

Very to the point and helpful! He is always a pleasure to see :)

I felt comfortable with Dr. Friedman and would see him again without hesitation.

Prompt, friendly, and straight to the point!

he's organized, supportive and easy to talk to. he's brief tho so dont expect a long drawn out 1st visit.

He sat farther away form the patients (me) chair than I expected and I was only there for half an hour but, other than that, it was a great experience.

excellent, professional, calming, sharp and to the point.

A great doctor I will be using again and again in the future.

Discovering Dr. Friedman has made me as happy as a depressive could be. He's equal parts sage and soothing. An acute listener, his small, but powerful suggestions and feedback have already made a positive impact on my life.

I think Dr. Friedman is pleasant and very professional.

Gavin Friedman is the best psychiatrist I have seen either in NYC or in my previous city of residence. We have been able to achieve a much higher degree of insight than I would have expected.

He is a good doctor and will go back to him again. My only complaint is the weird wait room. It's a little confusing what to do when you get there. But other than that, he is easy to talk to and has quick appointments.

The doctor was fine, the only thing that rubbed me the wrong way was that I felt a little rushed at the end of the visit.

He's a fantastic doctor - he genuinely listens, never makes you feel at all rushed, and is extremely knowledgeable and helpful. He's really one of the best medical professionals, in any field, that I've been to.

I really recommend this doctor. There was no wait time at all and he was very kind and professional. He asked lots of questions and really cared about helping me. I am definitely going back, after looking through so many awful psychiatrists, he's a gem.

He made me feel comfortable and confident that he and I can deal with my issues.

Wry, sarcastic, unsympathetic, but never rude, inflexible, unimaginative, boring, but never provocative, this geriatric psychiatrist is apparantly an eater of rich lunches, to judge by the digestive noises heard in afternoon sessions.

On time, friendly, professional.

I've now seen Dr. Friedman twice and I find him to be patient, calming and easy to talk to. He seems interest in what I'm saying, as well as engaged in our sessions. The only problem (and all psychiatrist do this) is the 40 minutes sharp without a moment longer, a bit annoying. Otherwise I look forward to an extended commitment with him to to work out my issues.

Dr. Friedman was personable, friendly and attentive. We set up a treatment plan right away, and a follow up date to check in on progress.

Dr. Friedman is professional and competent. He's easy to communicate with. He's also willing to take insurance and handle the insurance billing himself, which is almost unheard of.

Dr. Friedman was very thorough; wasn't rushed and I felt he listened carefully and made smart recommendations. Will definitely see him again.

Dr. Friedman was friendly and very understanding. I felt automatically at ease in his presence. A small but cozy office which I would happily visit again.

I had a pleasant experience. My only recommendation is for Dr. Friedman should space out his appointments a little better so the 45 min. session isn't too rushed.

The doc is great real down to earth and really like to listen and help you with ur issues

Great doctor--I'm really happy with him. He seemed very knowledge, and put me very much at ease.

It went very well. He is really nice and professional.

Very personable and very friendly. Makes you feel very much at ease. I am very very grateful I chose this doctor for my care.

Dr Friedman was very professional and I felt very comfortable speaking with him. Didn't feel rushed or like I was wasting his time or that he was focused on anything but me. Would definitely recommend.
