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.

Able to get an appointment quickly
I had a toe nail which became painful, and seemed to quickly develop an infection. I was able to get an appointment the very next day. Dr. Freedman explained everything he had to do, as he was treating the area. He then gave me complete instructions on home care for the upcoming week, along with a timely follow-up appointment. I would definitely recommend Dr. Freedman to family and friends.

Very good - will return
My first visit and although I was kept waiting beyond my appt time (backup was due to a new office computer system) Dr Freedman was worth the wait - diagnosed a long standing ankle issue that others had failed to diagnose for years! If they had only been as thorough as Dr. Freedman with the xrays! Pleased with my visit and will definitely return to this practice.

Thank you for taking the time to rate our office!

I highly recommend Dr. Freedman! They were able to fit me in quickly, and once I arrived at the office I didn't have to wait long at all to see him. He took the time to talk with me to understand the issue and after the diagnosis made sure I understood how to treat it at home. Everyone I met with in the office was very friendly and helpful from start to finish. WONDERFUL!

personable, caring and solved my foot problems instantly. Removed two splinters from both big toes. No other doctors could even see them. I was instantly out of pain and on my way. Wish there were doctors like him in other disciplines.

I have already recommended this doctor to my sister and several friends. I will also tell my grandson about Dr. Freedman because I think he could benefit from orthotics. I am completely confident in and grateful for the excellent care I get from Dr. Freedman, but if I did not feel the same way about his staff I would not continue with the practice. So how fortunate that his staff is also excellent - both cordial and efficient!

I have been a patient of Dr. Freedman for several years and consider him professional, congenial and knowledgeable. My sole criticism is there are times when the wait is too long, but that is random.
