I was injured on the job back in April of 2011. I have played sports my entire life, frankly I…read morethought it was a pulled muscle and would go away, 4 Advil and call it a day. Well, after visiting with my Orthopedic, starting PT, amongst other irritants, nothing was working, it was getting worse. An MRI was finally ordered and he instantly informed me this was out of his area, Neurologist was a must. So, MRI, per my Orthopedics recommendation, was sent to Neurological Consultants, specifically, Dr. Marc Friedberg.
The practice itself is very clean, nicely located directly behind Norwood Hospital. My first visit, I was greeted nicely by the receptionist, who promptly took all my information and I sat and waited to be called. The waiting area is very large, plenty of periodicals to choose from if need be. I was called right on time and went in to meet the Doctor. Dr. Friedberg is very personable, efficient but most of all, an excellent Doctor. He thoroughly went over my MRI and explained I had a ruptured disc in my C5 and C6. We felt PT and an epi shot would do the trick. well, NOTHING worked. I had to be pulled out of work, I lost feeling at times in my thumb and left pointer finger on my left hand. I could NOT sleep, we are talking three full months, I was just in agony. We finally decided on surgery and it was the best decision I could have made. The surgery was conducted in August 2011 and I am doing well. Even the day of surgery, I felt very comfortable with Dr. Friedberg. The surgery went extremely well. Dr. Friedberg is extremely attentive to his patients needs, he is clearly caring and up to date on all the latest technologies. I would HIGHLY recommend Dr. Friedberg for any neurological needs you may have.
The only down side, often have to wait 15-20 minutes past scheduled appointment times. I have a feeling this is typical in many DR practices though, he is very busy, but he is fantastic.
