I had to call to get lab test results that were supposed to be given to me proactively, she spent zero time letting me ask questions about them, and basically was too busy to be bothered with me. I am no further along than I was when I first went to her in trying to understand my symptoms - I don't think that's because she's incompetent, but because she never took 10 minutes to find out what the problems/symptoms are I'm trying to figure out. Maybe I wasn't interesting enough, or my insurance doesn't pay enough - I don't know. But I have gotten nowhere with her. (If anyone can recommend a good endocrinologist who takes BCBS POS, message me. :/ )

That is, in my opinion, an extremely important quality for a doctor. He has been my primary care physician for several years. Dr Popykin does not hesitate to refer you to the best specialists that he knows of. Those that I have been referred to are: Dr Mark Chastain, skin specialist; Dr Brion Lock, lung specialist; Dr Suku George, gastroenterology; Dr Howard Borger, ophthalmology; and Dr Robert Halpern, retinopathy. From my perspective as a professional biologist, my assessment of my treatments from Dr Popykin and all of these doctors is "two thumbs up." All are excellent in my opinion.

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.
