Steven P Friedel's Online Review Report Card

Dr. Friedel is TOP Notch - knowledgeable, personable, suggests & explains options, answers questions with ease, caring, so easy to talk with and much more! Highly recommended specialist & surgeon!!

Always good to come into an appointment

Not your typical surgeon! Dr. Friedel takes his time during our appointments. He explains everything, discusses options. He LISTENS. He put me back together after a very bad accident and has been attentive and informative every step of the way. His bedside manner is terrific and he has a wonderful sense of humor. He makes me feel safe and in good hands. I wouldn’t go to anyone else!

Absolute coward. Only a coward would take payouts from an insurance company to refute written statements from real doctors. I hope the money is worth it.

I shattered my ankle and Dr.Friedel fixed me up. So far so good as I did a number on my ankle falling off a deck being demolished. I recommend him and this office highly.

I AM ALWAYS PLEASED WHEN I SEE DR FRIEDEL . HE IS VERY PROFESSIONAL AND FRIENDLY . HE ALWAYS EXPLAINS THINGS THROUGHLY

You lose credibility when you take money for lies. He is an IME for insurance companies and he is paid to write disparaging reports at the behest of insurance companies to deny claims to injured workers. He takes money for this and allows the injured party to suffer while he enjoys his dirty dollars. You took a Hippocratic oath for a reason, now it means absolutely nothing.

In my initial visit with Dr. Friedel, he ran through a list of treatment options and gave me a long list of exercises downloaded from a website and told me to select a few of them without any particular guidance. After several weeks of confusion about what exercises to do, I called Dr. Friedel for a referral for physical therapy, one of the treatment options he had initially given. A few weeks later, I received an unexpected bill from his office. Dr. Friedel's office billed $400 for a 2 minute phone call without giving prior notice or warning. (I paid $134 with insurance.) They equated the call with a 20 minute office visit. I called the office several times to dispute the charge, but they persisted. I would have given a lower rating, but Dr. Friedel did give the referral for physical therapy. For renewals of the referral, I had the physical therapy office make the requests.

Dr. Friedel treats my husband and myself. My husband had a ACL done with above excellent results. We went to a party the same night of the surgery. I have been treated with cinvisc shots for two bad knees for the last two years to prolong surgery. Love our Dr. Fridel. Best bedside manner, excellent communication, excellent staff. Happy to recommend

I had replacement ACL surgery and meniscus repair almost 4 years ago and I can not say enough good things about this doctor. Before the surgery I was a very active person, and had 4 children under the age of 4! When I learned I completely tore my ACL and meniscus playing a pick up basketball game, I was in disbelief. Dr. Friedel assured me I could get abck to where I was pre surgery and he was correct. After listening to post op instructions and the rehap therapist, I have since ran 4- half marathons, numerous obstacle course races, play basketball every week and most importantly run after my 4 children with ease and absolutley NO PAIN! My husband recently hurt his shoulder and he will be going to Dr. Friedel this week!
