Patient Reviews
Jul 30, 2016
My first time meeting Dr. Friend was a very pleasant experience. She was very caring and made my mother and I feel comfortable. My mother was her patient but she made me feel like I was as well because she care so much about our feelings and made sure we understood everything before moving forward. She makes us feel like we are family and that's one thing I always look for in a Doctor. She was very knowledgable and professional. Love her !!!
