I sent Dr. Friedman an email today asking a few questions. He answered rather quickly. I was shocked. He answered my questions via iphone. I'm assuming he is out for the holdiays. What a nice man to take time out of his personal schedule to answer questions. :)

Dr. Rick Friedman is an outstanding doctor who proves a physician can be a leader in his field while being caring and thoughtful toward patients. Dr. Friedman is one of the reasons the House Research Institute (their new name) is so well-respected, especially (but not exclusively) for AN surgery.

I have to say that Dr. Friedman truly has the gifts of not only being an excellent surgeon, but of being a very caring and concerned physician, as well. He always answers calls or emails within 24 hours, no matter what the question. I don't know how he does it. He is one of the few doctors I know who puts his patient's concerns and welfare above all else.
I consider it a privilege to call him "my doctor."

I am just here to agree with everything Clarice said! I am still amazed at how quickly he responds via text or phone call. He really treats the person and the medical condition. I will always feel so fortunate that he was my surgeon...

I've heard nothing but great things about Friedman and I have to agree, he rocks!
More and more docs email and call patients quickly these days - including my own - and I must say it's a wonderful thing!

I emailed him today asking him a silly question. I told him that I have long hair and whether I would need to cut it for retrosigmoid? I asked how much he will shave :-\. He emailed me back within 5 minutes saying no reason for a hair cut and they shave 3 inches from behind my ear.
I am amazed how quickly he has answered my petty questions. Even on a weekend or holiday. I'm impressed.
