  Surgery is never something to look forward to. BUT under the care of Dr Friedman I have experienced complete correction of the original problem, and under his attention I am confident that full healing will happen over time. I must also comment about Dr Friedman’s non-surgical skills, his bed side manner. He listens carefully to my concerns, is able to translate those concerns into appropriate medical action, and does all this with good humor and a smile. He is a mensch.
