Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Worst experience EVER
He was rude, condescending and dismissive. When told the medication he prescribed was out dated and caused an allergic reaction his response was, “I don’t know what you want me to do about it”.We tried again to resolve the health issue and he continued to be uninterested in a solution. Switched doctors and it was the best decision we could have made. I can’t say enough times how terrible our experience with him was.

Best doctor of my life!
I completely lost my voice due to RRP, so I thoroughly searched the internet for the best doctor in this field. Thankfully, my efforts paid off, and I found a true miracle worker. Dr. Friedman fully restored my voice and brought me back to normal life, allowing me to communicate with my family again. I also returned to my work as a licensed public adjuster, spending hours discussing insurance-related issues with clients. Dr. Friedman is a real magician in medicine!

Vocal chord surgery
Dr.Friedman was very thorough with my office visit and explained everything. The results from my vocal chord surgery were excellent! I am so happy that I took the time to research my cancer options! KTP surgery is the way to go! He is truly one of the best in his field. It was worth the trip.

Dr. Friedman is the director of the Voice Center - I came in from out of town to see him. I had a vocal polyp that was affecting my voice and causing vocal strain. After he removed the polyp - I am glad to say that my voice is now back to normal! Particularly if you have a more serious issue - definitely go to him. Your vocal cords are very delicate and a poor surgical procedure may lead to lasting damage. Very grateful to have been under his care and cannot recommend him highly enough!

I am so happy that Dr. Friedman was recommended to help me with my quivering vocal cords to restore my strong speaking skills! His knowledge is excellent, his medical awareness and treatment are outstanding. His suggestion to inject botox to the muscles outside my vocal cords has created an amazing, comfortable solution. Plus, his kindness and concern are uplifting. I highly recommend this fine doctor!

I went to see Dr. Friedman on the advice of my primary doctor. I give Dr. Friedman a 10 out of 10. He explains everything in laymen terms to make make sure you understand it all His bedside manner is the best I ever had from a doctor. After the visit he also gives you ample time to answer all you questions.

I was recommended to meet Dr.Friedman for a sudden loss in voice strength that I experienced and the condition had continued for about 5 months. Dr.Friedman diagnosed my condition and said it is caused by a polyp. He recommended surgery which I did undergo, and my voice is back to normal now. plus points, empathetic, apologizes for being late even by a few minutes (never seen another doc do that), great at his speciality, amicable yet to the point. You want to see him if you have a voice problem

When I was confronted with a polyp & hemorrhaging vocal chords, I knew I needed the best surgeon. I use my voice for a living, so it was critical. I found it in Dr. Friedman. He is nationally recognized & one of the best doctors I've ever had. He was empathetic, an incredible listener, & performed my surgery with a great result. His team of voice therapists were also amazing. I'm back to using my voice professionally, but with better technique and range. I can't recommend him highly enough.

There are no words to explain Dr.Friedman, he's very knowledgeable in his field. I never felt like I was being rushed through my appointments. He took his time explaining every test , procedure and surgery in a language I understood. Always made sure I all my questions answered . His bedside manners are above and beyond any other dr I've been to. He's kind, gentle and compassionate . I highly recommend him. I just wished he was a internal medicine Dr god knows he would be the best out there,

Last winter I lost my voice for several months. Dr. Friedman, a premier Laryngeal (Vocal cord) specialist was incredible at helping diagnose and surgically helped me through the process of getting my voice back!! I have severe asthma and take many medications and inhalers which made my vocal cord problem very difficult to treat. Dr. Friedman was wonderful at explaining everything, professional and humble. I am so grateful for his professional expertise and training, and so close to home!!

I recently had the pleasure of being treated by Dr. Friedman who was able to successfully diagnose a problem I was struggling with over a period of six months. After meeting with several doctors, upon referral I finally was able to meet with Dr. Friedman. With proper treatment, care and voice therapy I was able to bounce back to my normal self. His expertise and kindness is beyond your traditional ENT doctor and I highly recommend his care to anyone facing similar challenges. Best, Lydia S

Dr. Friedman communicates very well and took the time to listen and answer the questions I had about my surgery. He gave me options and explained them thoroughly. Once I made the choice on a procedure, he told me what to expect and how things would happen every step of way. Everything went very well from pre-surgery to post-surgery recovery. The results have been fantastic.

I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Friedman. In all honesty, he was the third ENT doctor I saw. He was the only one who diagnosed and treated me properly. I had been having trouble with my throat for 6 months. I had no luck with the other doctors. Dr. Friedman had better equipment and saw the problem within my first visit. I am feeling much better and will not see another doctor about my throat issues again. I will go directly to the to Dr. Friedman.?

Dr.Friedman was amazing. He spent a lot of time with me and explained thoroughly everything to me. I had seen another doctor for my problem and wanted a second opinion. He gave me a much better exam and a number of suggestions on how to help with my problem. I would absolutely recommend him! He was truly a 5 star doctor!! Debbi Rosenberg
