Richard Friedman's Online Review Report Card

He is a surgeon who is a specialist and have plenty of experiences. Believe me, he knows what he is doing and I had a really good experience with him. Now, my issue is gone and I don't have to go back to his office anymore and I'm missing it. He is not just a good technical surgeon but also very ethical and professional. I had a pain before my surgery and he always squeezes his schedule to meet me and comfort me. I cannot think of any complains.

Dr. Friedman has been my doctor for 6 years now and has preformed 2 surgeries on me one including a full hysterectomy. I honestly have been blessed to be able to find him as my doctor. I had other gynos before that couldn't figure out what was wrong with me. Everyone in the office is so nice too. Helen, Karina, Zyda, Roxanne, Cindy, Dr. Nancy everyone.

Absolutely wonderful experience! No complaints. Wish I had another reason to go back. Dr. Friedman is kind and patient. He has Great bedside manner.

Consider yourself incredibly lucky to have found this doctor. I certainly do. You may be put off by a long wait time in the office or an initial visit that might not go according to what you would expect, but you must trust that you've found one of the most skilled, talented, caring and conscientious surgeons in the field. Also, understand that Dr. Friedman is incredibly compassionate. He does not refuse many cases, and there are, sadly, many women with complex cases, in need of the best gynecologic oncologist, so his waiting room is always filled.Dr. Friedman is a bright light in his field. It is well documented, but I can attest to that, personally, due to my experience with him and his judiciously cultivated team of astute professionals. Dr. Friedman took my case almost 10 years ago. I have a condition that requires constant check ups, and, sadly, multiple surgeries. These surgeries are sometimes less threatening than others, but if I had chosen any other surgeon, I would have been rendered disfigured a long time ago. Dr. Friedman took the time to really get to know me and my health history. He understands when certain issues can be monitored closely, and when they must be addressed immediately. He's taken it upon himself to make sure that he sees me regularly and on a consistent basis. He knows my health better than my G.P.!I just recently had another surgery with Dr. Friedman, and after, I was reminded of the exact reasons why he is such a star in his field: 1) He continues his education. He never stops researching better ways to treat his patients. He is at least three steps ahead of other surgeons when it comes to using state of the asset equipment or medicinal protocols. I should know. I've seen quite a number of the OB/Gyns before finding Dr. Friedman. He uses treatments years before many other doctors incorporate them. His post procedure protocol leaves me with minimal scarring - if any! 2) He treats each patient on a highly -personalized level, using the best techniques and procedures to fit his patients' personal needs. He takes his patients' personalities and priorities into consideration. 3) He is skilled beyond belief. He eats sleeps and breathes his profession, and he has a very steady hand. My recovery time is always short, in part, because he removes only what needs to be removed, and does not overdo it. With all the surgeries I've had, nobody would know. I am not impaired in any way, and my life has been made better.4) He is very discriminating in choosing his team. He really is tough on his team, but he brings out the very best in all of them. You can be assured that his team are personally invested in your well-being. They are bright, brilliant people who operate on a very high frequency. He expects the best, and he gets the best.5) He cares about his patients as if they were his own family. Plain and simple. I have the peace of mind that no matter what happens with this troubled area of my anatomy, I am in the best, most capable hands. Worry is the last thing a person needs when dealing with a very serious health issue. Knowing Dr. Friedman is in control is enough to keep me calm and focused on just enjoying life and getting better.

I had a total hysterectomy two weeks ago with Dr. Friedman and I feel absolutely amazing. He did it with the SILS procedure. One incision in the belly button - I spent one night in the hospital because the procedure took a little longer than he originally thought but I have had zero surgical pain!!I was seeing another doctor in Burbank who wanted to do an open hysterectomy and I just wasn't happy with his demeanor and complexity of things. I kept hearing Dr. Friedman's name come up from various sources and I went with my gut feeling. From the moment I met him and his wonderful staff I felt confident and safe. Of you need any procedure done, go and see Dr. Friedman. It may take a little time for an appointment but it's so worth it on my opinion! I'm so thankful I'm done with fibroids and bleeding and I am feeling so good so quickly!

The best! This review is for actual surgeries performed! My wife had fibroids all over the place, and Dr Friedman did a partial hysterectomy, saving both her ovaries and removing many adhesions safely and without any complications! That's why I chose him to remove a teratoma (benign tumor), and complete hysterectomy. He did mine with the robot assist. Everything was perfect...my surgery was at 12:30pm and I was HOME by 8pm. Not kidding! It's less than a week later and I feel amazing. I would trust him for any surgery. His entire team, especially Nancy his PA, were exceptional! I highly recommend him and will gladly answer any dm's if you have questions. 10 stars! Thank you, Dr. Friedman!!

I had 35 radiology treatment for laryngeal cancer under the supervision of Dr. Friedman. I found him to be very professional , yet concerned during my treatments and follow up visits. He took time to listen to my concerns and gave his opinions in a straight forward, honest assessment of my condition. Also his entire staff was extremely considerate and caring in their approach to my treatments. By the time my treatments were complete I felt I had become a friend; not just a patient to Dr. Friedman and his entire staff. In fact, on several occasions I have stopped by the clinic just to visit.

Dr. Friedman was very easy to talk to. When I first started treatments I had major anxiety about the machines and the environment. Dr. Friedman took time to walk my husband and I through every step of the treatment process so as to alleviate my anxiety. Ultimately I ent through the treatments like a pro. Thanks Dr. Friedman and staff.

Dr. Friedman is extremely knowledgeable and patient in explaining the situation and procedures. We didn't feel rushed, and he saw my mother as a whole person--not a just a "case" to be processed, and not as an elder person to be discounted. His staff was compassionate and respectful, making every effort to make my mother comfortable during the procedures, and patiently answering any questions that she had. The best of care.
