He was ok no complaind
June 30, 2015Michael C.Verified patient
I do not recommend going to Dr. Simon Friedman. I had chronic sinus issues and saw him because I needed a specialist's assistance with understanding the deeper issues behind my illness.
I was rushed through my consultation, provided very little guidance and concern and ultimately paid much more than was assumed.
Since visiting him, I've seen other doctors who have confirmed that his treatment was brief and unprofessional. I wouldn't go back to him and definitely wouldn't recommend anyone to see him.

Very professional
April 21, 2015Mark R.Verified patient
I would highly recommend this doctor! I brought my son here for a second opinion and Dr Friedman was great! The office is clean and very well kept, receptionists were super friendly, and we were seen right away! The doctor provided us with helpful feedback and the visit went super fast (not rushed). I felt like my time was valued as he didn't waste a single moment of it! I would recommend this office of to anyone!

February 23, 2015Ronald L.Verified patient
Dr. Friedman was very helpful to me in understanding what was wrong with my throat and how I can benifit with additional treatment. I was very happy and impressed with how fast and thourough with me. Since seeing me he saw my father-in-law and two personal friends. They all love the quick appointments and knowledge he gave their issues.

Not very friendly or personable. I felt like my appointment was rushed. This doctor didn't seem like he wanted to explain anything. It seems a though he was more interested in getting through his appointments quickly. I had hearing loss and had to call back after my appointment to ask for a better explanation. The medicine he prescribed did make most of my hearing come back. However, I still do not know what the underlying issue is. It is quite scary to wake up without hearing in one ear and have no clue what the cause is. I will be seeking a second opinion.
