    I have been going to this practice for several years. They always are attentive and friendly. A pleasure to be around and always smiling even if it's before 7:00am. Since I've been getting the Radio Frequency procedure I have been able to work down on the amount of pain medicine I take. Dr. Freidlis will answer any questions I have. He has a wonderful bedside manner. Dr. Freidlis will keep you well informed when he starts your procedure, during and at the end. I have and will continue to refer friends and family.

    This is my second procedure to be scheduled through this office with Dr Friedlis. I had a stem cell procedure on my Left knee in 2016 with excellent results. I recently injured my Right knee and now I'm hoping for the same excellent results again. I have recommended this office & physician to many people.

    Dr Friedlis has been my doc for many years. He has always been kind, caring, and willing to go that extra mile to help. I have had both PRP and Stem cells by him in his Mc Lean office which were both very helpful. I have an old back injury and some arthritis. I had a left rotator cuff surgery, fell and re tour one tendon. When my original surgeon was unwilling to operate, Dr Friedlis did a stem cell procedure and it has held up well now for 6 yrs. He was very supportive and helpful recently when I faced a right rotator cuff repair. He will not perform stem cells if surgery is necessary. He is professional, warm, and extremely knowledgeable. I always feel I can trust him.

    my story is about treatment 27 years ago. but specifically because i remember the pain i was in and the treatment methods. i know opioid overuse is all the rage now; dr friedlis made sure that didn't happen to me. i had physical therapy but also psychological therapy to understand where and why the pain. i learned to monitor my activities, to do meditation and visualization instead of more drugs, to stand up for myself and explain to others why i could not do some things because of my muscle injury. i have not increased my medicines-OTC or prescribed-in these 27 years because dr friedlis and his office made sure i knew the pitfalls of managing the pain. in that time i have needed to work 3 jobs a week, and still handle the pain and support myself and my child without resorting to greater drugs. i feel very lucky to have had dr friedlis for my doctor and to never have felt the need to resort to stronger or overuse due to the treatment i recieved there. i bless you every day, dr friedlis, and even more now people are coming forward with their addiction stories. you should have had MY doctor.

    Dr Freidlis listened well to understand my concerns and exhibited total professionalism along with some diffusing humor and knowledge-based confidence — all of which gave me the courage to go ahead.

    I was expecting too much in the way of pain relief. Dr. Frieidis is very cautious in administering the cortisone shots. I understand that he wants to ensure that I get the very best treatment. I like that he has asked me to record my experience with pain over the time until I see him again. I know that my condition is serious and that it will take time to recover.
