So far he’s been extremely helpful. It’s been 4 years since my diagnosis and he’s been there for me each and every time. So far so good!

I am totally satisfied by the care given to me and medical judgments exercised by Dr. Friedlander who also performed a TURP procedure. His office staff and the professional nursing were also AWESOME! Thank you!

I am very surprised at the folks complaining about a bad cystoscopy. Dr. White in this same practice did a cystoscopy and it was very painful..Dr. Friedlander did the same procedure a year later and I felt nothing. He said, "If I hurt you , you can hurt me." I was incredibly nervous, but he did a great job. No pain at all. If these folks thinks Dr. Friedlander has bad bed side matter and is a jerk, they should visit Dr. JonathanWhite.

The Physician prescribed an expensive experimental drug that worsened the problem instead of the generic drug, which actually worked, that I had asked for months earlier. Over the course of several years, the physician made me endure several unnecessary appointments and procedures when the actual problem was fairly simple and could have been solved with the prescription of the generic drug. I complained to the Maryland Board of Physicians and they issued him an advisory letter.

No nonsense, but unfailingly pleasant, helpful and knowledgable. I certainly have never had the experience some reviewers have apparently had. Maybe they just don't appreciate his sense of humor, but I find it refreshing.

Worst Dr. I have ever seen. Don't waste your time. He is so rude and condescending besides refused to answer my questions.

I've been with Dr. Friedlander for years now. He's an excellent urologist who has steered me through prostate cancer and other wonders of advancing years. I disagree strongly with those who saw him as uncaring. He has always demonstrated concern and answered any questions I had fully. He like his "earthy" sense of humor which is probably a great asset for urologists.

I would not recommend Dr. Friedlander to anyone, but particularly to women. He is uncaring and unpleasant. I found it difficult to ask questions, and when I did, he was rude, sarcastic and unhelpful. Worst of all was his failure to diagnose me correctly, even after subjecting me to numerous unnecessary tests. He didn't seem to care at all. Do not go to this doctor.

I wouldn't recommend Dr. Friedlander to anyone due to his lack of compassion, concern, & unprofessionalism. I don't believe he used local anesthetic before performing my cystoscopy. When asked about the risk of UTI, a known potential risk, he was very dismissive, "We weren't in my garage. My facility is sterile, there's no chance of infection". I only received pyridium to ease the fully-expected burning sensation bc I asked for it. I can only conclude that the standard operating procedure is to send poor unwitting patients home with no relief. Dr. Friedlander was visibly annoyed by questions before & after the procedure. No cause for the hematuria was shown so I asked him what possible causes could there be that wouldn't shown through these methods. "If the CT IVP & cystoscopy don't show anything, I don't care." I don't think there's anything more unprofessional that a physician can say than to flatly tell a patient they don't care what the cause of their medical condition is.
