Patient Reviews
Dec 16, 2023
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.
