One of the most comprehensive optical exams I have ever had. Having worked for Optometrists and Medical Doctors and having to see numerous doctors now.. I know the difference. Staff was super friendly as well as thorough and the doctor was extremely nice and took the time to answer my questions. A big thumbs up for New Tampa Eye Institute and Dr. Fridman. LA Fiore

She was Very reassuring, and very eager that I understand exactly what she was explaining to me about my eyes. She encouraged me to ask questions, and I felt totally unrushed. She made me feel much more comfortable than I'd been going in, in all respects.

My visit with Dr Fridman was excellent. Almost zero wait time. The person at the front desk was welcoming and check-in/check-out was a breeze. I didn't have all of my PCP info and she said she would research the info I was missing, saving me a call back. The tech who did the initial medical background/history/testing was very efficient and professional. Dr Fridman was a perfect combination of professional and personable. I never felt the visit was being rushed and all of my questions were answered thoroughly. I will return again and would recommend Dr Fridman highly.

If you are looking for a good Ophthalmoogist Dr Fridman is worth going to. She had to refer me to another Ophthalmoogist that specializes in cornea surgery.
