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.

Most outstanding physician . He saved my son 27 years ago from a deadly malignant tumor. Andrew is a 100% functioning adult. No words can express my thanks. The Duke Brain Tumor Group is the best in the world.

I was diagnosed with a stage 4 brain cancer tumor in 2017, and was given only a few months to live. It was suggested that I give Dr. Friedman a chance to review my situation. Dr. Friedman asked me to send him a copy of my MRI. I am now a 2 year survivor thanks to his original efforts to get me into the Duke Cancer and Research Center. I would recommend Dr. Friedman for any brain tumor problems.
