Dr. Friedman performed a vasectomy reversal for me in Feb. He exhibited what I would characterize as the highest level of care that I have ever observed with any doctor - ever. He was patient, empathatic, responsive....literally, everything you could want. As far as competency? We are expecting a child in December. That's just one data point, but I think it's safe to say that he is at the very top of his field.

Our procedure did not work even though the doctor insisted it would be successful. When we brought it to his attention that something was wrong he insisted that it was ok. So in the outcome the vasectomy reversal was unsuccessful, he still claims that it went well. How is that when it was unsuccessful? He said at our consults that if it didn't work than we could have the money we paid toward sperm retrieval but now we have to pay the same amount of money without any help. I don't understand why things changed so much and what happened to his guarantee?

You never know you you are going to fall in love with, or their story. My husband had been married previously and he has two wonderful boys. He and his ex-wife decided he should have a Vasectomy, because they were done having kids. Well little did they know things wouldn't work out. Four years later my husband and I meet and fall deeply in love. My husband had his vasectomy reversal on December 23rd 2016. After about 6-7 years since Vasectomy. The staff was so wonderful, along with Dr. Friedman. He welcomed us into his office and walked us through exactly what he was going to do. My husband felt so comfortable, the best part is he was so happy he didn't have to go under anesthesia. On Valentines day February 14 2017, I had received a phone call from my primary doctor about my blood work from the day prior. The best phone call I have ever received. She said "As you probably already know, since you came in for blood work, I want to congratulate you and your husband because you are PREGNANT!" We had conceived only 6 weeks after his procedure.

Thank you Dr. Friedman for making my dreams come true! Words cannot express how grateful I am for you! I cannot wait to send you a picture of our little one!

Dr. Friedman was able to cure my mother's persistent UTIs that had baffled other doctors. He is super smart and has a great ability to explain complicated medical concepts in plain English. He has a terrific bedside manner and is a dedicated professional.

I am a physician. I chose Dr. Friedman to reverse my vasectomy. He did a great job. The office staff was wonderful. Most importantly, we welcomed my daughter only 12 months after the reversal!

I was told he is the best in his field. i beg to differ on that. 6 times i have seen him and he has not addressed my problem. My test have been over $3000.00. Test i did not need from what i read online and had nothing to do with my problem. Never call me about how the test came out. Sometimes i had to wait weeks to months to see him. Sometimes he books 4 appointments a hour. One time i sat it the room for 45 minutes without seeing anyone. Sorry we forgot about you. I walked out. Another i had the scope test i was numb up with something that does not work on me. The test was painful, said found polyps and had to remove them but never felt it and never showed me.. Last time i never saw him just someone else and was told maybe meds might work to remove scar tissue but your insurance won't pay. I missed my last appointment and they never called. I felt like he does not care and i was just a money maker for him.
