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.

A terrific doctor and outstanding person. If you are ever his patient, you’ll feel fortunate like I have.

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Freedman?
Dr Freedman is the best doctor in the world. Other oncologists told me to “get your things in order” because “you have less than a 10% chance of surviving a year”. A research doctor told me to go to DFCI. Dr Freedman saw me at DFCI in Brookline. He had six radiologists examine samples of the cancer. The six radiologists had six different opinions on what types and how many different types of NHL I had. Dr Freedman looked in the eyes and he told me he thought he could keep me alive for “a long time”. I believed him. 22 years later and I am still alive; Dr Freedman is the reason why. Of course, I have always been a fighter, and Dr Freedman saw that in me. Dr Freedman is the best doctor in the world.
