I found Dr Freed to be very pleasant, easy to speak with. He reviewed my history with me and made sure my concerns and questions were answered. A new medication was discussed and I was given an explanation for its use, possibly side effects and its long term benefits. I really felt he and his team were focused on me.

In my first meeting, Dr Freed wanted me to share with him (in some detail) my experience post surgery as well as the path that led to my surgery. He wanted to know about “me” rather than what my chart told him about me. Without question, his knowledge is exceptional and the combination of his care and experience gives me a high level of confidence and satisfaction working with him.
