Dr Friedman is an excellent doctor! He listens to my concerns and involves me in decision making about my health. He genuinely cares about me and how I am feeling both physically and mentally. I really appreciate his willingness to do video conferences as I live over 4 hours from Seattle and my 87 body finds it difficult to make the trip.

Overall Rating: 5.0 2025-07-27

Patient verified via Press Ganey

I appreciate that he took time to explain the test before doing it and also each step along the way as he was doing it, talking through what he was doing and what it meant. I liked that he shared preliminary results with me in real time, so I wasn't surprised by the email I received from my neurologist the following day.

Overall Rating: 5.0 2023-10-18

Patient verified via Press Ganey

Dr Friedman is a class act. He wasted no time ordering tests that I needed based on my symptoms. I do trust this provider and would definitely recommend him to others. He had a good general disposition, wastes zero time and gets down to business instead of leaving you guessing. Good doctor
