Patient verified via Press Ganey

Dr Friedman has been treating me for close to 30 years. I can honestly say that he saved my life more than one time. Don't know what I'll do if/and or when he retires. I highly recommend this group, including several other physicians he partners with. The front office personnel, nurses, PA's and Jackson who has been drawing my blood forever are top notch professionals that work together nicely. I appreciate each and every one of them.
