Alan Freedman, MD's Online Review Report Card

Lord have mercy!!! I don't know why this man is still working!!! He is not well. His advice to me was devastating ! And had I listened i would loose a perfectly good healthy kidney. The only good thing he did was to refer me to dr Holaves. He can not do surgical procedures anymore. Please doctor go home and close your doors!!!!

Best urologist EVER!! Professional  and very knowledgeable . His staff is awesome as well.

This Dr has 0 bedside manner. He has been my dads Dr for a short time and now my dad finally has gotten  a referral to go to another Dr. Dr F is so extremely rude and acts like hes going out of his way to help you. He has 0 patience for people who are hard of hearing. When my dad first started seeing him i referred Dr F to someone else who went one time snd asked me why I would send him to such an A Hole. I have heard his office staff is nice snd helpful, if that helps, but he is a condescending grouch. I think he needs to retire. Sounds like hes overdue!!!

I was in the waiting room for 1.5 hours and had a 15 minute consultation.   Afterwords,  he canceled my surgery on last minute notice.   I'll move on to a different doctor because Time is valuable I don't believe they realize this factor.

patient beware, he is urologist and surgeon Doctor, and his recommendation is always toward unnecessary surgery that may cost you life living with pain the rest of your life, do not accept surgery unless you get a second opinion or even better find another surgeon to do it, I had 2 operation with him and I regret every minute of it, I had prostate cancer which was local to prostate and I believe 2 operations released cancer cell in blood stream and now it is in my bone! the pain and burning is always there!!

He does not seem to care about the patient and has an awful bedside manner. Why would he choose to practice medicine if he has no compaction for other human beings? I also believe that he overcharges the patients and the insurance and I have routinely been billed in addition to the copay even for a simple check up! I just had a first visit with another Urologist and what a difference! He actually spent time and examined and asked several questions and entered into the computer as opposed to dr freedman who at some of my visits just looked in from the hallway and didn’t quite enter the exam room!

I have been a patient of Dr. Freedman for approximately 20 years. Ive found him to be very informative. He gives a diagnosis, explains why and offers procedures that will help the diagnosis along with his professional opinion about what may or may not be best in my situation. I have the highest regard for him and his professional expertise.

I have been a patient of Dr. Freedman for 10 years. He is a professional and knowledgeable Urologist not prone to over react or make recommends prematurely. His personal manner is open, thoughtful and serious. As his patient I trust his diagnosis and course of treatment and can highly recommend him to others.

Dr Alan Freedman is by far the industry best Urologist you can find. After dealing with painful kidney stones for several months (no thank you to Healthcare Partners) I switched medical groups to Hoag. I will never go back! Dr Freedman is a Physician...Not a communications expert to all the complainers on Yelp. He removed a frickin stone that had grown to nearly 9mm! His support staff are amazing at authorizing the necessary scheduling for any surgery needed in a timely manner and are always friendly and flexible!

Let me start by saying the office staff is very kind and welcoming. <br><br>Unfortunately the level of care one would hope for from a Doctor was not provided. During ultrasound testing, we heard the doctor state he saw kidney stones, but during the consult he mentioned he did not feel that was the root cause of pain for the patient. He sent the patient home with no next steps or medication. Subsequent efforts to reach the doctor for further help per direction of other doctors have been unsuccessful. <br><br>It is disheartening to be in so much pain and encounter a doctor that not only seems uncaring, but provides absolutely no direction.

Review in progress...Pleasure meeting Shannon and Nurse Lorraine who greeted all with smiles one busy sunny spring morning. Opulent Open window art on the walls and a "Urologic tool" for resolution of BPH on the wall (left).Dr. Freedmans' residency effected at Harvard's Massachusetts General Hospital. Collum colligationem "aquila chrysaetos canadensis." Handy kingelton war ganztoll und das conferez mit collegium. Pro Publica?*** מישהו נמצא אבן כליה פרידמן אמר "זה הירך שלך." תודה על השיעור ואת urolift הוא הרדמה חינם. *** Anticipating the next future visit. Arzt spiegel alto sax aber ich horen das nicht, aber schade--wir haben zeit vielleicht.

Wont explain anything and wont answer questions.

Zero stars!!!I had read reviews of Dr. Freedman saying he is a good doctor.  That is beyond misleading.  If you are looking for a Dr. who is not only competent but kind, respectful, caring, and a good listener, DO NOT go to Dr. Freedman.My friend took her husband who is suffering from dementia to him 3 weeks ago and he was rude and cold.  She thought she would give him another chance.  When she arrived, her husband was severely agitated.  She asked for a room to go to so as to not disturb the 4 people in the waiting room.  She was told by the staff that they could not accommodate her although she was visibly shaken and upset. A man in the waiting room started to scream at her telling her to leave.  She calmly told him that her husband suffers from dementia and that she had driven all the way from Escondido.  He Shouted that he could care less and kept verbally attacking her. The staff allowed this to go on for three to four minutes. She was crying and extremely stressed when they finally brought her back and miraculously had a room for her.When she saw Dr. Freedman, he then started yelling at her and told her that he was not interested and was sick of dealing with Alzheimers , and that he only wanted to address urology problems.  He also said he was too busy to wait one minute for her stepdaughter to arrive.  He also indicated that he ONLY worked 9 to 5 and would NOT take calls outside of that time frame EVER. This is not acceptable behavior for health care professionals, staff included.  She called and expressed her concerns and asked for a call from the doctor and an apology.  she got excuses from the staff and no call from the Dr. This disrespect, insensitivity, arrogance and lack of compassion is not acceptable in any health professional.  Send a message and FIND SOMEONE ELSE!!!

He is across from Hoag joint had some gud cake der.

I have been seeing Dr. Freedman for many years.  I have always found him to be very caring, personable, and friendly.  He is extremely competent. I HIGHLY recommend him 100%!  Excellent, very friendly staff as well.

If there were more stars to give I would. I had gone to other urologist in Anaheim whose name I refrain from mentioning he gave me the wrong diagnoses and recommended the wrong surgery. Something told me to get another opinion. Im so very glad I did. After listening to me and providing some testing in his office, Dr. Freeman pinpointed my condition and thoroughly explained my options including surgery. I opted for the surgery. Dr Freeman restored my quality of life 100%. THANK YOU Dr. Freeman!
