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.

Dr. Friedsam is not a hand holder or gentle. She is however the very best Doctor I have ever known. She's a brilliant diagnostician and very thorough. If you want your health issues cared for she's the best!

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Friedsam?
My brother went to her recently. He is on medicaid and disability. She treated him like dirt, and was very rude and condescending. They ask him to put on a gown but she never even did a physical exam on him not even to check lymph nodes or anything. I don't know why she is in the field of health care because she does not care for a single soul, I would not recommend her at all. If I could give her zero stars, I would.

She has been my Dr. for 28 years. I wouldn't go anywhere else. She is always extremely knowledgable, professional, And does not hesitate to send me to a specialist when required. She knows her patients needs and always listens.

Excellent physician. Refers patient to specialists when needed. Has blood tests taken and checks out all parts of the body. Works with other doctors for your care.
