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.

Unrealistic
Placed 2 implants with a 50 50 chance of failure which they did. $6000 down the drain! It would have been nice if the doctor would be a human being and offer some money back!

Grateful
Dr Friedman saved my tooth and removed the cyst underneath, and everything has healed so well. I went to him for a second opinion and it cost me half of what the other surgeon quoted and he didn’t pull my tooth. I’m so grateful!!!

Fabulous Honest Doctor!
Booked an appointment for my Mom. She needed an oral surgeons opinion. Dr. Friedman was excellent in the Plantation office. He was caring, professional, honest, and had such a great personality. He was extraordinary and eased our stress of going there and let us know everything was ok and that nothing was wrong. Yay! We highly recommend him and if we ever need an oral surgeon, it would be him. Thank you!

Amazing doctor!!!
Dr. Friedman took such great care of my 92 year old mother-in-law when she developed a stone in her salivary gland and was in tremendous pain. He saw her three times in one week. He found the stone and was able to remove it. Dr. Friedman is a very compassionate doctor and truly cares about his patients.

Great service!
I was referred to Dr. Friedman for wisdom teeth removal. From the first appointment to the post-op follow up, the service and care was outstanding. The staff made me feel comfortable during the surgery and I am very satisfied with the results. I would highly recommend Dr. Friedman to all my friends and family.

I would 100% recommend everyone to Dr Friedman! He pulled all 4 of my wisdom teeth out and I’m now recovering with no problems. He’s very outgoing, hardworking, and cares for all of his patients. During my one week post-op, i had many questions and was scared that something was wrong, Dr. Friedman answered all my questions and reassured me that everything was healing smoothly. I would recommend him to anyone who is looking for a compassionate and professional oral surgeon!

I have had tmj pain for over 15 years. I have tried everything to alleviate the pain but i finally decided to come see Dr. Friedman. He recommended a tmj arthroscopy procedure. He has changed my life! My jaw pain is gone, I have no more headaches, my mouth opens wider than ever. He gave my all of the tools for my surgery to be successful. Dr. Friedman also has an excellent bedside manner and I appreciate everything he has done for me! I drive an hour to come to this office and would do it over again if I had to.

My daughter has a consult scheduled for her TMJ. A referral was obtained weeks prior to appointment. She arrived for appointment and they took her copay then proceeded to tell her the address on the referral was incorrect. We were never told there was an issue with the referral and the office that generated the referral restated the address, which was correct. She sat there for an hour waiting. Office staff was unhelpful and rude. I instructed her to ask for her copay to be refunded and walk out.
