I was lucky enough to meet Dr Friedman about five years ago and she became my Chiropractic Doctor…read more I am just so so blessed that this happened. She helped me transition from being in persistent pain in both my neck and lower back to being able to not have to see her for the last year or so. A true Physician: the kind that helps you heal to the point you don't need them. She has several modalities which helped me get better. She is adept at the use of estim which combines ultrasound with electrical stimulation and this is the most effective form of physical therapy for muscle spasms I have ever encountered. She is compassionate, real, deeply cares for her patients, and knows what she is doing.

I have seen several chiropractors who were all excellent in different ways but she is the best. She got me better so I could move on with my life, I still need to go sometimes but if you have the chance go see her and you will be overjoyed you did.

Dr. Friedman and her staff are gems. So caring and communicative from the beginning. The…read morereceptionist, medical assistants, and billing coordinator are all happy people who obviously like what they do and are treated well as staff members. It felt so different than any other doctor's office as soon as I walked in. Dr. Friedman teaches me to be self aware of my body in a loving and self honoring way. Her intentions are to bring me to wellness not just pain free. As someone who has done yoga most of my adult life I definitely appreciated how much my body got out of shape and alignment after having a baby and nursing. I ended losing all of my pregnancy weight without doing much exercise other than walking because she got my body back into alignment and moving more efficiently. I originally went in for foot pain which had worsened post partum. Dr. Friedman diligently went after the cause by looking at complete X-rays of small and not so small misalignments in my spine. Consequently she relieved tension in my neck and back that was so chronic I didn't even talk about it anymore. She did not even adjust my foot per se, yet she got me pain free within a week or two. She is dedicated and caring in a way I have only encountered with alternative healers. She is such a unique chiropractor in a sea of choices. Don't miss your chance to get care from her as she takes insurance and works with you if you don't have it. In the subtle ways they treat their patients, a visit to her office is a relaxing and healing experience.
