His intest in examining thoroughly and annoying their history before applying medication. I appreciate the way how he views things, and not just rushed to judgment.
Verified patient
I have been with Dr. Frieman for many years and never had a bad visit. He is very professional. He would listen if I had any problems and didn’t dismiss any of my concerns. His waiting time is right at your appointment time. You get checked in immediately. The receptionist is friendly and a pleasure to talk to.

Good pleasant knowledgeable doc!
My gut instinct: a terrific doctor. He listened. He looked. He felt. His analysis & advice made great sense. But if everyone feels so much better so quickly, how does he make a living?
Verified patient
Dr. Freiman is very professional and thorough. He explained clearly how often and time meds are to be taken, dosages, time for results to be seen and will correspond via e-mail with recommendations before our next appointment.

Dr. Freiman was very professional and concerned about my health and well being. He explained in detail the procedure and preparation that was necessary. In addition, he adjusted his schedule to meet my travel schedule.
This was the first time I've seen Dr. Freiman and I will definitely go back! He was extremely professional and down-to-earth. He asked me a lot of questions that helped him to better understand what I was going through. And the wait time was nearly zero!
Seems very competent, knowledgable and had a great beside manner. I am going for a followup colonoscopy and after that will have more experience with him. He does engender confidence.
Good doctor, will answer all your questions. What I like most about him is that he chooses to first resolve any issues naturally before putting you on prescription meds.
I was very impressed with my first visit: he listened, paid close attention, explained his ideas clearly, and came up with a game plan for dealing with the problem. I was very comfortable with the whole visit and with his approach to helping me with my gastric woes. I checked "probably recommend" only because I'd like to wait and see how successful the treatment is before going for the top rating.
