David S Friedman, MD, MPH, PhD

The entire staff (techs?, fellow & Dr.) were all very knowledgeable &courteous,

Outstanding

Excellent experience overall. [redacted]

Always exceptional care. Very professional, kind, caring & thorough.

Dr Friedman is extremely knowledgeable and is providing me with the best care possible. He runs a very efficient office with on time appointments.

He is the only Dr to figure out the problem. I have been to six ophthalmologists, but I guess they didn't have the most advanced equipment to understand and see, no pun intended, what is happening in my iris. He explained everything in a way I could understand it and I felt a little less scared about my eye and that it could be fixed.

I love the care I receive there always kind and caring

Excellent

Outstanding practice, team and patient care! Dr Friedman and the whole team are wonderful

Dr. Friedman is strong people oriented while considering a treatment approach

The doctor, Dr. Friedman, is outstanding, caring, kind, and is so attentive. Would recommend him to everyone. Thank you.

Dr. Friedman is an amazing provider. I came to him with extremely serious Glaucoma. I had had multiple surgeries and still was not in a safe Optic Nerve pressur number. He performed surgery five years ago- I've been stable with low pressures ever since. I owe my vision to this man. You should be very thankful you have such a kind, caring, intelligent, gifted person running your Glaucoma department.

All perfect!

Dr. Friedman is an outstanding clinician, ophthalmologist and glaucoma specialist. He is one of the most clear thinking and compassionate physicians I have encountered. I greatly respect his clinical expertise and opinion. I also greatly respect his efforts to advance glaucoma research and have been happy to be a research participant. For perspective, I am an academic physician-scientist at another of the Boston medical schools and medical centers.

I truly appreciate the doctor's explanation of glaucoma eye structure. [redacted]

Dr Friedman is thorough and professional. He listens well and has a good demeanor. I feel like I'm in good hands with his management of my glaucoma.

He is great. I am so fortunate to be able to see him and have him as my provider. He has rescued a troubled eye in a way I did not think was possible. No other provider was willing to try to do so in the manner he did.

It was great. Great visit. Doctor was great. Everything was great.

Dr. Friedman is one of the best doctors I have ever had in my entire life (I am in my late 60's). He is one of the top glaucoma specialists in the U.S., but you'd never hear that from him as he is too modest to tell you that. He is extremely attentive and kind, and takes the time to explain things in a way that is very clear. I give him the highest possible recommendation.

Exceptionally professional and courteous. I applaud having a high school student shadowing the provider. The experience for the student can be transformational.

He is a good listener and makes you feel comfortable.

Thoughtful and considerate.

Dr F is an excellent physician. He is a recognized expert in glaucoma and I was so fortunate to find him. He is kind , compassionate and reassuring.

Dr. Friedman is a once-in-a-lifetime physician. I feel absolutely fortunate to be in his care. It is a 3.5 hour drive each way to see him and when I leave Mass Eye and Ear to drive home, I almost don't need a car. He is so supportive of his team; he listens carefully. He's above top shelf as a doctor and a person.

Everything was excellent

The best possible care in the world.

Dr David Friedman is phenomenal. Easy going and super professional. I'm extremely grateful for all of his help thus far.

I am very satisfied with Dr. Friedman's care. He is an eminent doctor and an incredible human being. He's not just a very good doctor; he's also a very empathetic human being. Thank you, Doctor, for your care. May God bless you always and give us the opportunity to have you at the hospital.

Of the medications I am taking, what are the possibilities of stopping them in the future?

Everything went well.

best in class all around

Excellent

don't change the way you preform your way of taking care of of your patients. thanks for a good experience

The provider had two people (assuming interns) come into the room during my appointment. He did not ask if they could come in, he just brought them with him and introduced them as a doctor from China and a nurse(?) student from Turkey. I later found out that it's my right to be able to deny this. I was taken aback that he just brought them in without asking. It made the appointment more awkward. I might have been more ok with it had I been asked or given prior notice. In addition, towards the end of our conversation, it felt like he was rushing me out. He abruptly told me that I could leave and then shut the door behind me, assuming to talk to the interns. I felt like his attitude was somewhat flippant. [redacted]

Always excellent

I always get excellent care there. Thank you.

Dr Friedman is the best. Always has a smile and good attitude.

Dr. Friedman is an excellent doctor!

Dr. Friedman is very thorough, kind, smart, and helpful.

Excellent

This was first visit with Dr. Friedman. Appreciate his listening to me. He is going to check on something for me. He did show me a 'thinning area'. Would like to understand more about this situation. Cannot think as fast as would like on the spur of the moment am concentrating on listening.

I appreciated his help.

Doctor was personable with an easygoing personality which I appreciated. However, I got the sense that he did not really know the details of my case accurately, or at least was not communicative enough in a way that would make me feel that he did. I did not get thorough explanations about the procedures being proposed. Maybe there was an assumption that I knew more than I actually did because I had shared that another doctor had already prescribed one of the surgeries.

Precision and attention of his care.

Dr. Friedman is great! Knowledgeable, caring, and he listens!

Dr. Friedman is the best. He is technically incredibly competent and he is kind and a great listener, period. His staff, the other doctors and students are also just absolutely top-notch. I could not recommend him highly enough and I actually have recommended him to a number of people. Thank you.

I come all the way from Michigan because I believe I receive excellent care

They were excellent.

He is an amazing MD and the team was great as well.

Excellent doctor.

Great.

I feel so very lucky to have Dr Friedman and his staff provide my care

He took his time and measured my pressure with three different devices.

I am so fortunate to have Dr Friedman for my glaucoma care. He is so knowledgeable and caring. I am in the best of hands.

Fantastic help, no matter what time or when, even if I call, I get a proper response. Excellent, excellent provider. Fellows that work with Dr. Friedman are absolutely great. Thank you.

The provider is exceptional professional. His example is clearly influencing and guiding his residents. The resident I interacted with had exceptional bed-side manners.

My experience with Doctor Friedman has always been that been great. He's a fantastic doctor and I'm blessed to have him. Thank you Doctor Friedman.

Outstanding. I am fortunate to be in his care.

He gave me peace of mind. I was not going blind. My glaucoma was stabilized.

It has been a very long journey and now we are seeing success.

Dr. Friedman is an outstanding glaucoma specialist. I am blessed to have found him as I was not treated appropriately with my previous provider. He's kind, thoughtful, he listens all the time, he considers all of your medical issues, and I think he is absolutely superb. He's also improved the efficiency of the glaucoma clinic significantly. I think he is just outstanding and I understand he may be a candidate to leave the department and I would wholeheartedly support him in that endeavor.

Dr. Friedman is my hero!!

Dr. Friedman is simply the best - takes the time to explain things clearly and outline the necessary options. Very thankful to have him.
