Dr. Friedman did a knee replacement about 6 or 7 years ago on one of my best friends. I was recommended to Dr. Friedman by my friend about 4 years ago when I was having a left knee problem. My circle of friends have recommended Dr. Friedman over the years for many procedures. Everyone was happy with the results.
Verified patient
It was professional. He was brief and to the point. He listened to my history. Overall, I like him. I like zocdoc 's capability of making your own appointment, except when they called me to confirm, they tried to change the time to a later date. I had to insist. They should not say that computer appointment is usually not accurate. I will try to use zocdoc again if the appointment schedule is exactly as indicated.

Excellent Doc. But waiting time is more even with appointment.
Everyone very professional every time. Doc & Vanessa
the wait was too long - 60 minutes from arrival to get into a room and then another 10 minutes for the dr. he is very quick and matter of fact and focused on what he wanted to talk about and was stunned that I had questions. he said at one point "you will never run again". really? do you think that is what I wanted to hear? I went to see him for a solution!
Experienced! Happy and Well cared Doctor.
