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.

I just finished my appointment 10 minutes ago. I was very concerned about lots of abnormal bleeding over the last 6 WEEKS. After doing an invasive exam, he said "well, either you are brain dead or there's nothing wrong with you." I told him about prior symptoms, and he said, "well, it's not happening now!" I asked for my IUD removed, he told me that I was wrong. He called a nurse back in for the removal, and told her, "this patient liked her first exam so much she wants another one!" Mortifying

Had to see him because Oleander was out of the office and I suspected that I might be pregnant. He came in with a student nurse and examined me while she watched with a bad attitude. He was degrading asked if my fiancé had a job like were trash. He said, "Well do you know why you haven't gotten your period? It's his fault" as he points at my fiancé. I immediately started crying as this was how I found out I was pregnant with my first baby, horrifying unprofessional experience they were both rude

Dr Freedman greets you with a smile and his manner puts you at ease. His explanations are clear and he details all options, and works with you to make a decision without rushing. The staff was friendly and even though office was very busy, they made certain you felt as important as the next patient.
