    Final visit for a cosmetic procedure. Overall experience from start to finish was outstanding. Final results fully met or exceeded expectations. Very happy.
  • Jul 28, 2026
    Good experience
  • Jul 21, 2026
    Dr Friedman is the best with his expertise and bed side manner
  • Jun 23, 2026
    I had previously met with two other reconstructive surgeons, and Dr. Friedman and his PA are the first who really listened to me and considered my treatment preferences. He is the first surgeon who didn't immediately rule out the possibility of mastopexy followed by either fat grafting or implant placement. I am hopeful that I can complete my homework quickly (all of the pre-op clearance that is needed) and move on to scheduling reconstructive surgery with Dr. Friedman.
