    I have been under the care of Dr. Friedberg for many years, and I trust him completely for the…read moreproblems I have relating to glaucoma. He has done several laser surgeries and worked with me to find eyedrops that are not based on sulfa, to which I am allergic. He has done successful cataract surgery on both eyes. He is meticulous and thorough and can see problems that other doctors miss. If there is a need for emergency surgery he will make time for it. He tracks the progression of my glaucoma and adjusts what is needed, be it further laser surgery or different drops. I am grateful to him.

    I had visited this doctor on referral from my opthomologist due to what he said was diabetic…read moreretinopathy based on the high tech scans. He told me that most likely Dr.Friedberg would laser it or inject medicine to help the burry vision in my right eye. Dr.Friedberg dismissed this diagnosis and said that I had a torn retina. He said I had two options. One was laser that would improve my vision but would not give me full range of vision. The second was surgery at Riverview that would be 95 percent improved. Obviously, I chose surgery. His scheduler set it up for two days later and told me I needed to rent a special chair for the weeks following because the bubble put in eye requires looking down for over a week. Surgery was unusual and he was nasty to the assisting nurses. I also sensed a problem when apparently they did not have enough probes on site. He used what they had and continued. After the surgery I told him that I was prepared with the chair and he said his technique did not require it. $250 to rent this based on his staff's instruction. After the two months healing period I had worse vision than before. He then said I needed injections once a month for four months and that should solve the issue. At that point he also said that he did see the swelling that I originally came to him. Insisted it had nothing to do with retinopathy. After the fourth injection showed no improvement he basically told me that there was nothing else that he could do and I should consider this eye as a "spare tire". What? Follow up with my ophthalmologist was not promising and after I told him what happened, he said we have to wait and see how the eye progresses but the cataract in the same eye may not be able to be fixed with surgery without risk due to the retina surgery which weakens the eye. I feel he botched the surgery and then dismissed me knowing that he screwed up. I would strongly not recommend this guy. As others have stated, his office is old with old equipment.

    Stay away! There's plenty of other eye doctors to choose from in Red Bank and surrounding towns…read morethat you don't need to settle for putting up with a rude doctor who only cares about billing your insurance. They bill you twice as they won't fit you for glasses and contacts in the same visit. Additionally, I went in for my contacts fitting and he refused to fit me for contacts because I hadn't used eye drops he (unnecessarily - per another eye doctor) prescribed. Will never be going back and I hope this helps others make an informed choice as well.

    This review is solely for the person who works at the front desk. I found this doctor through my…read moreeye insurance and contacted them to make an appointment. Right off the bat, she was rude and condescending as I asked questions about what the appointment would be like...even saying "You should probably just go to Lenscrafters" after I inquired about a simple eye exam to update my glasses prescription. Thinking she was just having an "off" day, I made the mistake of making an appointment. I decided later on that I would cancel because I found another provider in the area that I preferred to give my business. When I called back to cancel, she was rude again before I even spoke - acting like it was the biggest inconvenience to have to answer the phone. I'm not really sure what her job is and/or what she thinks her job is ...but perhaps it shouldn't include having to interact with patients.
