WORTH IT
Gentle, compassionate, intelligent, skilled, calm: fitting adjectives that don't even begin to describe the constant professional that is Dr. Friedman.
I was incredibly anxious when I first met him over a year ago, nervous to discuss revision rhinoplasty.
My previous surgeon from a different practice left me with collapsed nasal valves, a crooked nose, a septum that was obstructing my breathing, and I had to endure months of physical therapy because of a complication during surgery. I was scared to trust again. Dr. Friedman recognized my anxieties and serious traumas from my previous surgery and assured me this time would be different; I can proudly say that he was more than correct! My revision rhinoplasty with Dr. Friedman was the best decision I ever made! He has a gentle hand and I had barely have any swelling or bruising post-op!!! I had a very tricky nose, and I am amazed by his skill and the outcome.
It would be remiss of me to not mention this anecdote: A few days post-op I was nervous because I struggled with rinsing a few crusted pieces from my nose. I called his office to discuss what I should do and, to my surprise, the nurse told me to come in to meet with Dr. Friedman that day, in between his surgeries, so he could help clear the pathways and ease my mind. He ended up talking with me for what must have been his entire lunch break in between surgeries, and gave me advice on how to handle my anxieties and previous traumas. We had a long talk on a personal level about my mental health and I walked out of the office feeling at ease, heard and understood. Overall, my nose is straighter, I am breathing 10X better, and I feel SO genuinely happy.
There is no one like Dr. Friedman, he is in a class of his own! A sincere person who really wants what is best for his patients. I am so pleased with his work and I thank him for restoring my trust again in doctors. I highly recommend him to anyone who is nervous and anxious about undergoing surgery, especially revision patients who have suffered trauma; he is reassuring and trustworthy. Thank you, Dr. Friedman! You are the BEST!!!!
