Dr Friendenberg is an amazing doctor. I appreciate that he doesn't waste your time, in addition to hearing you when you voice concerns. It was disheartening to hear that he's retiring; he's irreplaceable! It truly was a pleasure!

Dr. Friedenberg was so attentive and helpful. I'm so glad I switched to his practice!
