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.

Not professional toward appointments
Dr. Friedman wasn’t professional in terms of keeping appointments up-to-date. Also, he overcharged over the years for visits, and he misdiagnosed my daughter for her stress and ADHD.

Best doctor I've ever had. He is super responsive when in a tough spot and we worked together to get my medication right. Asked about my personal life and takes interest in what I have to say. Made appointments according to my schedule. Never had someone I trusted more with my mental health. Really helped me. No waiting time and comfortable office. Just be straightforward with him and things will go your way.
