He was very thorough and genuinely concerned about my foot issues. I did not feel rushed or that I was taking too much of his time like some other drs can make you feel.

The office was packed but I still got back to see Dr. Friedman within 20 minutes. He was very easy to talk to and had good insight for my problem. I really like his conservative approach to treatment as he explained that surgery is always the last option if it's not absolutely necessary. I would definitely recommend him to family and friends.
