    BE WARNED. I do not think this man should be practicing medicine. My mother recently passed away…read more Dr Friedman was her doctor for years. When she finally had one of her many back fractures filled with "cement." We told the orthopedic surgeon that her GP Dr Friedman, told her she had BORDERLINE osteoporosis. The surgeon said, "Get a new doctor." The surgeon recommended an arthritis and rheumatology specialist, who started intensive treatment for what they diagnosed as "severe osteoporosis." When she passed away, she had lost 8" of height and was partially bent over. For years, Dr Friedman told her that her shortness of breath was from allergies and her lungs looked fine in an X-ray. My sister and I kept trying to tell her it wasn't normal to have to stop walking to catch your breath every few yards and to have to work hard to take a deep breath. Finally, when she had that same back-fracture procedure, they were surprised at her low pulse ox rate was when she arrived, but chalked it up to a long walk from the parking lot. After the procedure they could not get her pulse ox up anywhere near an acceptable number. She plummeted down when they tried to wean her off the oxygen. They finally got her back to her 90% level that she came in on, and they told us to use her oxygen at home. They were stunned when we said she had no supplemental oxygen at home and had never been to a pulmonologist. When they released her, they said you HAVE to go to a pulmonologist immediately. The first time she went to her pulmonologist, she was diagnosed with the progressive and terminal disease, pulmonary fibrosis. She was told she needed to be on 3LM of supplemental oxygen 24 hours a day. For some reason, she refused to find another GP, despite the pressure from me, my sister, and my father. The next time she went for her annual exam, Dr Friedman took an X-ray and explained that she had pulmonary fibrosis, as if he had just made an amazing diagnosis and explained it to her as if it was the first she'd ever heard of it. When she was 87, we had to take her to the doctor and go inside with her. She made us promise not to bring up all of Dr Friendman's MANY failures as her doctor. We agreed because we wanted to respect her wishes and because her health was being managed by all of her specialists at that point. Dr Friedman was just doing her annual checkups. At each checkup, he explained that she had pulmonary fibrosis and spoke to her as if it was the first she had heard of it, even though she was sitting in front of him, breathing with a big oxygen tank. I will never forget when she was on a big tank in the office, with a spare tank next to her. He asked her if she was on supplemental oxygen. My mother and I were both stunned and momentarily silent, then he looked up from his computer and said, "Oh, yes, you are." Now that my mom is gone, I am going through with my intentions to warn EVERYONE possible, that this man is an incompetent, dangerous fraud. STAY AWAY. It is unbelievable that he still has a medical license.

    Knowledgeble, caring, professional, office procedure well organized, Dr. Friedman has been my PCP…read morefor 15 years, and in his practice he has other physicians he has referred me to for specialties that have all been excellent. Also he coordinates well with outside physicians, and is very responsive to questions, taking the time to explain why he recommends certain procedures and actions. I highly recommend him and his group, Laureate Medical.

    I highly recommend Dr. Jennifer Lyman. She was knowledgeable and willing to troubleshoot any issues…read morewith birth control. I got an IUD, she is so professional and always strives to make you comfortable and keep you as healthy as possible! Really the only Gyno I can say I recommend to all friends my age and to anyone who is in Atlanta /Georgia area who is looking to get an IUD. She honestly is the best for anyone who is on the younger side. Very with the times, as I've seen her from 19 or so to 21. She is very accepting and wants the best for you. Doesn't shame you for your personal choices like some other doctors do! Highly recommend her! Btw. Tip have someone pick you up and drop you off, parking is 6 dollars. And it's out of pocket they don't validate. The office itself is...front office etc will likely be the death of this practice.

    I was a Dr. Reddy's client for about 15 years. My grandmother passed due to cervical cancer, which…read moreis very well documented in my medical records. Therefore, when an abnormal pap smear detected. The need for a follow-up Colposcopy, I proceeded to do my research, the information I needed to understand the pap smear results, causes, and the follow-up procedure was not in my medical records. I went to the appointment early to do a consultation. Everything was going ok until Dr. Reddy came in for the Colposcopy. Dr. Reddy did mention the length of time I was in consultation getting my questions answered, which was slightly over an hour because information was not in the Medical records, which inherently generated additional questions about the procedure. Then, she asked if I trusted her to do a biopsy. Interesting, I thought. I had no idea about a possible biopsy; it was not mentioned during the consultation as a possibility. Fast forward, my questions, concerns, and dialogue (i.e., self-advocacy) resulted in Dr. Reddy documenting in my Medical records that I was frustrated and angry, and sending a certified letter stating no doctor at the facility would see me and I had 30 days to find another doctor. This was during the time I was still in follow-up care treatment due to pain and bleeding after the biopsy. _______________________________ I just read Hailey W., and Zelda R. reviews and noticed the same wording for deflection and attempts of character assassination.

    ...This is a review of a disease I have had for many years. After I wrote a review on one of my…read moresymptoms, (migraines) and many have found it helpful, I thought it time" I come out into the light so to speak " and maybe help someone who has , or knows someone who is experiencing these symptoms... Fibromyalgia , Chronic Myofacia Pain Syndrome is a chronic pain disease , which is ...(taken from website) "Fibromyalgia is a clinical syndrome defined by chronic widespread muscular pain, fatigue and tenderness. Many people with fibromyalgia also experience additional symptoms such as fatigue, headaches, irritable bowel syndrome, irritable bladder, cognitive and memory problems (often called "fibro fog"), temporomandibular joint disorder, pelvic pain, restless leg syndrome, sensitivity to noise and temperature, and anxiety and depression. These symptoms can vary in intensity and, like the pain of fibromyalgia, wax and wane over time." ACR Before I finally had a diagnosis by a rheumatologist, I was going to different specialists for all the separate symptoms I was experiencing. This became overwhelming, as all the different doctors put me on a medication for that symptom, and I became a drug induced zombie! It has been a very long journey, and I have learned that the least amount of medicine is the best. Diet and exercise is the most helpful, even if it hurts. A strong emotional support system is IMPERATIVE! Knowledge is power, The correct diagnosis is the only key to getting help. It is surprising how many women in the age group of 20 to 60 have this . (some men have it too, just fewer) You have to have at least 11 of the 18 trigger points or tender spots on your body to pass the test for diagnosis. * Fibromyalgia &Chronic Myofacial Pain Syndrome A Survival Manual Your Doctor plays a very vital role. If you have a dismissive doctor, FIRE HIM/HER! You are not obligated to keep him! You need a team who will help you find the combination of things that will work for you. He/ She should be willing to dig and rewrite the script until you have it right. He/she should call you in at least every 4 months to review your status. The best book I have found in the Myriad of books on the subject is Fibromyalgia &Chronic Myofacial Pain Syndrome A Survival Manual The website on this review is great. A good place to start http://www.rheumatology.org/ The National Fibromyalgia Association http://www.fmaware.org/ The Mayo clinic site is not as user friendly unless you are in the medical or biology field.
