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.
Verified patient
