Dr Friedman took on the task of repairing my right shoulder. After being in constant pain for many years he discovered that my rotator cuff was beyond repair and that he recommended a shoulder replacement. I did not doubt his findings and agreed to allow him to use his expertise to help me improve my life. And he did. Every time that I visited his office I was treated with the utmost respect and consideration by his staff. Dr Friedman has the ultimate bedside manner. He knows how to calm your nerves by explaining whatever is in need of clarification. I never felt hurried or rushed while I was in the office with him. I am so grateful to him.

Great care. Saw Him for a third opinion regarding my shoulder issue. He fixed my shoulder with minimally invasive scope surgery. I’ve never felt better. Return to rock climbing with no issues. Very attentive.

After shoulder surgery I was in constant and intense pain. He didn’t know what to do. Follow up care ineffective.

Excellent doctor!! Repaired the ACL in my right knee and the meniscus in my left. I have since completed 5 half marathons and 2 NYC marathons. Dr. Friedman was confident and always correct about my ailments. He saw my son for a knee issue when he was going through a brutal physical therapy which didn't help. Dr. Friedman said it was the wrong protocol and my son should just rest for 2-3 weeks. It worked and my son was back playing soccer.

I saw Dr. Friedman for a knee injury. He took his time with me. He was respectful, professional, and knowledgeable. I thought he was excellent.

Dr. Friedman saved my arm. I shattered my upper arm into what Dr. Friedman described as 10-15 pieces. It took 5.5 hours of surgery to repair what the xray tech described as the worst broken bone he'd ever seen. A year later, you would never know I'd had a major injury. Every day, I'm grateful for Dr. Friedman's skill, and general niceness. Everyone in his office is beyond great. (esp. Chanel!) Dr. Friedman teaches other doctors how to do upper arm surgery. You are lucky if he is your surgeon.

Dr misdiagnosed stress fracture which then became a complete tibia break. I spoke with his secretary many times coz symptoms were getting worse, but though charming was very unhelpfu. Now i'm in a wheelchair, housebound for next 3 months. If only dr Friedman and his secretary would have listened to me....properly.And believed me.

Dr. Friedman is not only a very competent surgeon, he has a wonderful bedside manner which is unusual for a surgeon. He spent time talking to me and answering my questions. He operated on my knee and I recently ran a half marathon and plan to run my first NYC marathon in the fall. Dr. Friedman's staff was also very professional and kind. I have a thick accent and it is not east to understand me over the phone but they were always very patient and helpful. I 100% recommend Dr. Friedman.

Fixed both my shoulders after years of abuse by me. Great doctor.

Excellent visit
