Best doctor!!!! He is incredible, if you have any problem, he is the person to see.

Dr. Friedman is an excellent doctor and surgeon. The staff is very good, however, they do over-book and have long waits. This last visit took 3 hours. This is not very considerate when a person has scheduled months in advance. Medically, I'm very happy with the care I've received.

Trying to make an appointment and reach a real person is impossible. I'm a new patient with an urgent issue and can't get a call back. Maybe they need more people to make appointments? Could barely get a word in with the desk when I was trying to talk to a real person. Just sent me right back to voicemail. If I hear back and can get an appointment I'll update this review. For now I would say pass on these guys though.... **Updated 2 weeks later. The office got back to me and was very nice. Still can't see the doc for a month or two. They are very overwhelmed. I found another amazing gynecology specialist Dr. Steven Rabin in Burbank who saw me right away and I have a surgery scheduled for next week. I'm sure Dr. Friedman is a great doctor. Just can't get in to see him at this point. If you need someone right away check out Dr. Rabin. Trying to make an appointment and reach a real person is impossible.

My wife's coworker highly recommended Dr. Friedman, so I called on her behalf to set an appointment. Little did I know it would take a grueling work of several voicemails and emails with a front desk lady Roxanne. I was able to finally get an appointment after 2 months of hassle, because my wife's health is more important. Appointment was set TWO MONTH out. During this interaction, the front desk started screening me, asking me for medical records of my wife, and to call my insurance to make sure I am covered. That's all fine, but this was all prior to setting an appointment. The doctor had to say okay before we can set the appointment... Folks, this is a prime example of one of thousand reasons wrong with the American health system. Since when did EPO/PPO network need to be screened to see a doctor? The front desk lady was very nice, and always followed up no matter the time lapse. But nice doesn't save lives. I am sure they are all very qualified and kind people. However, they really need to revamp their processes. I was able to get an appointment with Cedar Sinai (my provider), in a few minutes. I went out of my way because I wanted to get the best care for my wife, and you know what? I think I did in the end.
