Friedman David B, MD

Dr. Friedman is a very busy, competent professional man. He doesn’t sugarcoat things but
tells it to you straight. I would rather have a Dr. like that than a friendlier less competent one.
I look forward to my upcoming Moh’s surgery with this bright, experienced Dr. — Mary H.

NEVER going back there again!!! Took my mom in for an appointment. The wait time was ridiculous. She waited an hour after her appointmennt time to be seen only because the rude girl in the front took that long to put together her chart (she is a new patient). Not to mention, the girl looked bored, mad and was completely unpleasant. I feel like the receptionist should be a people person. (But thats just my opinion) that wasn’t even the worst part of this experience. when we finally went back to see the doctor, he was completely unprofessional! He was in the room with us for less than a minute and a half. Had his back turned to my mom while he spoke and asked why she was there (still with his back turned) turned around to look at her for about 7 seconds, gave a diagnosis without looking at her condition for even more than those 7 seconds and told her just to come back in a few weeks for a procedure. He was SUPER DISMISSIVE, unfriendly and uncaring. Then, as we were making an appt to come back he was throwing charts at his staff very ruudely right in front of us, one of which almost hit my mom on the arm. You could tell the staff was embarrassed by his rudeness, but what can they really do?! As soon as we left, we got in the car and i immediately called my moms pcp and made sure i asked them to submit an auth for a new dermatologist, they asked me why, i told them about the horrible experience and they made sure to thank me for the info and reassured me that they will no longer be referring patients there.

Came here about three times and the first visit was great with a lady she was such a sweet heart and took great care of me, I came here because of my psoriasis condition and she gave me hope that it will get better with the medication. My condition slowly got better then my breakout and itchy flaky skin started again I went back for apt and this time doc Friedman helped me out I feel like he didn’t really address my concerns and he did not bother to proscribe me another medication or cream since the last one had worn out on me ! I was not satisfied with his service at all I felt as he didn’t care for my condition! I am now looking for a new dermatologist that can further help me with my condition !

I was a little wary going to Dr Friedman after reading all of these negative reviews but since he was close and took my insurance, I gave it a shot.
To my surprise, the office was spacious, clean, and dare I say, inviting. The office staff weren’t the most friendly people – one was complaining about watery coffee and another just stared at me while I put my name down on the sign in sheet. I came in about 15 min before my scheduled time and after signing a few forms (less than other doctor offices), I was promptly called in and Dr Friedman came to see me after a minute a two.
He, too, isn’t the most friendly person (I guess he sets the office atmosphere), but he’s very professional and is all about no mess, no fuss. He shared with me a couple of options of how to treat my condition and settled on the one that seemed like the least amount of work (not for him but for me – it wouldn’t involve cutting my face open – yes, I’m a little dramatic). He gave me what I needed and although I was asking him questions even after I was ushered towards the check out station, he was quick to reply and didn’t seem rude at all.
Dr Friedman isn’t one to solve your ailments with medication and creams and such. I guess he puts a lot of trust in the natural healing properties of the body. I was surprised I even got a bandaid to put on my face lol.
Would I refer him to others? Absolutely. Would I want him to be my primary care doctor and my go-​to doctor for all my needs? Probably not. I would prefer someone a bit more motherly haha

This is the 4^th medical procedure my disabled relative had done with Dr. Friedman, and
once again it was a success!!! Everything healed nicely with no complications and Dr.
Friedman did a fantastic job! This is especially so because my relative can be difficult and
hard to treat because of his Bi-​polar illness, Dr. Friedman handled it exceptionally well and
after 4 quality procedures he is the very best Dr, you can go to.
Thank you again Dr. Friedman,
Julie and Eugene

Dr Friedman is the very best. He is empathic, competent and honest. He removed a growth from my scalp with virtually no pain and minimal soreness. Although he is no longer part of my insurance plan I would go to no one else for my dermatology needs. I highly recommend his services and his office.
The staff too is competent, friendly and helpful. They were very receptive to my need to make an appointment quickly and they were able to give me one within 24 hours. They are billing my insurance for the pathology charges at no further cost to me.

I have a few choice words to describe Dr. David Friedman; abrasive, dismissive, insulting, unprofessional with absolutely no bedside manner whatsoever. His office was shoddy with stains on the carpet, molding missing from a damaged wall in the waiting room and an overall dismal atmosphere.
The office staff was okay. A bit bored by the task of seeing patients, but at least they weren’t rude like he is. The ONE highlight? One of the office personnel had her daughter with her at work. She was busily cleaning up files with correction tape.
Steer clear this office. He even went so far as to state to me «people like you…» And gave me grief because I had a number of issues I was seeking advice on.
Interesting to note that when I relayed this awful experience to my very sweet mannered mothered, she knew exactly who I was speaking of and told me he was awful and treated her poorly, too.
What a miserable little man.

Never. Ever Go Back to Dr. Friedman s Office. God bless the REAL Docs that they care about their patients not the $.

One of the worst experiences I’ve encountered at a medical office. Dr. Friedman spent less than 5 minutes with me. The only thing Dr. Friedman did was prescribe me different lotions and pills to try. After prescribing 3 different lotions, he suggested that I buy his lotion that is manufactured by him, which also didn’t work.
Dr. Friedman did not address my needs, and instead of actually being a doctor, it felt that he was only thinking of how to benefit his pocket from my insurance and myself. Everytime I was scheduled an appointment he would walk in, write a prescription and walk out.
Worst doctor/​patient experience ever !

Thank you to all who previously commented on the office, good or bad. The staff here at Anaheim Skin Medical Clinic (Dr. David Friedman) has been changed completely since 2011. We hope that our improved customer service is evident in our satisfied patient reviews. The office is run more efficiently now, wait times were addressed and corrected as well.
Should anyone have any questions or concerns at any time, please feel free to contact the office. We look forward to serving Anaheim and the surrounding communities.

Staff NOT friendly at all!!! Dr. Friedman was not very informative and did not really make me feel confident in his work… I asked my M.D. for a second opinion and I ABSOLUTE LOVE Dr. Vipal Soni in Huntington Beach! Great front office staff! and the Doctor took 30 min of his time to answer all my questions and concerns… the out come of my treatment was AMAZING! he treated my melasma and removed 5 moles It was the best experience ever!

I started going to Dr Friedman over a year ago for a weird rash I get on my back each summer. He has incredibly reasonable prices and does not rush you through the visit. He was able to help me with my issue and I will continue to go to him for all of my dermitological needs. I have and will continue to recomend him to my friends and family.
