"I began going to the Bariatric Support Group at Baptist Hospital and that is where I became familiar with Dr. Friedman. Most of the people in the room were his former patients and I feel that what the patients say about a doctor is so much more important than any bio or google search I could have done myself. After experiencing the support group meeting, I decided to move forward with Dr. Friedman. I met with him for the first time and was really blown away at how down to Earth he was. He treated me like his friend and didn't talk down to me or try to make me feel like I was beneath him in any way. His staff is amazing as well. Jennifer, his nurse, is a former patient with a wealth of information. She has really helped me in this process as well! On the day of surgery, I was once again blown away by the caring staff at Baptist. Every single person that I encountered there, from the surgical staff, to the janitorial staff was very courteous and kind. The nursing staff there was incredible. My husband and I really bonded with Krissie and Stacy. I definitely made the right choice when I chose Dr. Friedman and Baptist Hospital. If you are considering Bariatric Surgery, look no more. You've found the right doctor and the right facility. I had RNY surgery on the 28th of Feb. and I've been nearly pain free since the day after I left the hospital. Incredible experience!"
