Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Go Somewhere Else
Dr Freedman seems very off. Don’t trust him to do any procedures for you. Give your money and time to a different doctor. Wait time in the waiting room is hours long.. Worst decision to go there

Amazing
I first met dr freedman when i was scheduled for a hysterectomy . I had a c section bump and wanted a tummy tuck at the same time . He contacted myOB Gyn and they worked out a time that was good for both of them . Every nurse in Winthrop told me how lucky i was that he was my surgeon . I sure was , he did beautiful work . Then a year later i had him do a Breast lift and implants . 2 years after that he did a neck lift for me and also took an annoying deep splinter out of my foot while i was under . I healed beautiful . He also stitched my sons face after a fight in school and he face was split open . You can’t even tell anything was done . No scars . He also cut some cysts out of my neck and while washing my face i threw my head back too far and i ripped my stitches out at 10pm . I called him and met him at his office at 11pm ! Rare that any doctor would do that ! He is truly a gem . A gentle mild Manner doctor with a heart of gold . I will be back for a full facelift In about a year .

He messed up my surgery and had to do it again. My insurance would not pay for a second operation because it was his incompetence, so he asked me to pay. When I refused he tried to charge my credit card number that he had saved without my knowledge. Incompetent, not trustworthy.

I had a really great experience with Dr. Freedman. I got excepted by insurance relatively quickly, and I was fit in for surgery at their next soonest available day. Everything with the surgery went great. He is a doctor with many years of experience and training; he knows what he’s doing and I wouldn’t go to any other plastic surgeon.

I feel very lucky to have found Dr. Freedman. My personal experience was great! I had a tummy tuck with Dr. Freedman at 40 and another one twenty years later. I couldn't be happier; great results again. Recently he revised a prior cosmetic eye surgery someone else did and I was so unhappy before and it came out lovely. He gave me a breast lift as well...I am very pleased and I am all smiles. Thank you Dr. Freedman

I want to assure anyone who wants a facelift that you won’t get a better one anywhere than you will from Dr Freedman. I know that you won’t believe I look 56 at 76. It’s impossible. Don’t believe me call me and I’ll set up a visit. Russ 9176004029. I’ve had 6 facelifts and I should know what I’m talking about. I’ve read the reviews and wish to respond. Yes wait times can be long. He takes a long time with his patients? That’s good. Remember,you’re paying a lousy $9500 for a world class facelift

This office is an abolsute joke. The women working there are incompetent, rude and don’t even know how to submit a claim to insurance properly. There is no office manager and they have way too many patients. You are literally just a number. Completely negligent. I would stay FAR FAR away from this doctor bc he hasn’t no clue what is going on behind the scenes in his office and clearly doesn’t care about the welfare of his patients. If I could give zero stars, I would!!!!

Dr. Freedman is amazing. I had a painful injury to my hand that the Urgent Care could not treat. Fortunately, the Urgent Care doctor was able to schedule an appointment within an hour. Dr. Freedman and his staff stayed open to ensure that I receive immediate treatment. The results are incredible. I highly recommend Dr. Freedman

He is very nice, but unfortunately I did not have a good outcome. I had a gynecomastia procdure performed by him many years ago and he took too much out resulting in a permanently caved nipple.

Don't see this doctor for Botox!! He is inexperienced & doesn't return calls after leaving many messages. He should stick with his plastic surgery! My face is a mess & I have to wait 3-4 months for his terrible work to wear off!!! My eyes are half opened & wrinkles worse!!!

Wait time is ridiculous! The 2nd time I went back to have my stitches removed, I checked in but after waiting patiently for 2 hours I checked to find out what was happening n the receptionist that I checked in with never pulled my file so I was passed over. When the doctor did see me I tried to explain I was upset about the mistake, not once did he acknowledge what I was saying, just told me I had a tumor that needed to be removed. An apology from the doctor would have gone a long way. Upset

I had a breast reduction on May 12,2017. I can not begin to tell you how happy I am only 1 day later. Dr. Freedman is the most warmest caring doctor I have ever met and performed my surgery exactly the way he described it to me. His office helped me get this approved by my insurance and I have never been happier. Also, he has Saturday appointments so there is no need to lose time at my job! Thank you thank you thank,you Dr. Freedman!

I recently had breast augmentation and reduced my areolas. I've been really insecure about my left breast being larger than the right breast. During my consultation Dr. Freedman made me feel extremely comfortable. I have cystic breast on the left breast and it made the left areola larger. Dr. Freedman is extremely knowledgeable and experienced. He provided me with different cosmetic ways to make my breast more even and symmetrical. The staff at Dr. Freedman's office are so friendly and customer

Dr. Freedman is an expert and a gentleman. He and his staff are quite caring and lovely. Even though I saw Dr. Freedman for surgery to repair a MOH's procedure, he also x-rayed and treated my hand that I had shut in a door as well. I don't know how he did it, but my face looks just as good as it did before having a cancerous tumor the size of a nickel cut out of my cheek. I am eternally grateful to Dr. Freedman.

A few days before leaving on a cruise , Dr Freedman sutured my sons finger due to an on the job injury that City Md had difficultly repairing. While at sea , becoming concerned about swelling and redness my son texted a photo of his injury to Dr Freedman. Dr Freedman painstakingly googled the nearest cvs to the port in Jacksonville , Florida to have an rx waiting for him when attempts to contact the ships md were unsuccessful . This was all done on a Sunday of a holiday weekend.
