It so weird to me some people posted negative reviews on here. My wife & I found Dr. Friedman to be very professional, easy to work with, listened to our concerns & answered our questions. He was accurate in his diagnosis & quick to work out a solution. I had Trigeminal Neuralgia for years & didn't want to do the surgery, until we met Dr. Friedman. He gave us the confidence to move forward. He has done thousands of MVD Microvascular Decompression Surgeries with a proven track record. My referring Doctor told us Dr Friedman i... read more

Dr. Friedman and his team provided exceptional care. Dr Friedman knew immediately what was wrong with me when I had seen several different doctors and was given steroids and physical therapy. I kept feeling like I had a weight over me that made it difficult to walk. The only way I could get into Walmart was to grab a cart to help me. It turned out that when I was standing my spine was pinching a nerve. It just kept getting worse. Until I was referred to Dr Friedman at UF. He showed me what was wrong and we scheduled a lamine... read more

I trusted Dr. Friedman to perform back surgery on me in January. My biggest mistake My aftercare was trusted to two 3rd year residents who failed to treat my adverse events appropriately and in a timely manner. This resulted in multiple infections leading to sepsis. Multiple DVT?s and a Pulmonary Embolism. After 11 months, multiple procedures and hospitalizations and medical bills of over $225,000 I’m now left with Chronic Pulmonary Embolism Syndrome and Collagenous Colitis.

I suffered with Trigeminal Neuralgus for about 20 years & it was becoming unbearable. I was fortunate enough to find out about Dr Friedman in a freak situation, I ran into a sweet young girl whose grandmother had surgery & was cured. After going everywhere even Mayo, I finally felt heard & hopeful & I was cured!!!!! The Microvascular Decompression was my cure as it was for my new friend. Trigeminal Neuralgis is called suicide disease because it is soooo painful. He is my saviour! I would trust my brain to him anytime! Thank ... read more

My husband was referred by his neurologist in June 2013. Dr. Friedman looked on my husbands brain scan and said I can fix this. My husband was told by other doctors in Maryland and Florida for five years to get his affairs taken care of and that he only had 3 months to live. Ten years later my husband Donald is still cancer free and alive. This doctor operated for one hour and saved him. My autistic daughter and I would had been devastated with out him.

On a scale of 1 to 10 (with 10 being the worst pain I've experienced in my 74 years) my pain was a 16! I was approximately one week away from being confined to a wheelchair for the rest of my life. Dr. Friedman studied my MRI and within a few minutes said, "I know what the problem is and I can solve it". That took place on a Thursday and Dr. Friedman scheduled my back surgery for the following Tuesday. After surgery I was completely PAIN FREE and, after about 20 minutes in the recovery room, was able to walk down the hosptia... read more

This man saved my life with fixing 3 different types of neuralgia, after 3 years of treatment from others. I say a prayer for him every morning that I wake up pain free.

I had to go in for back surgery and I couldn’t be happier with the results. Dr. Friedman by far exceeded my expectations. I went from having major back pain to having none at all and I’m so glad I had Dr. Friedman and his team taking care of me. I highly recommend him.
