UofU Patient June 29, 2016Great physician.
UofU Patient June 24, 2016I owe everything to Doctor freedman. he has been imcredibly kind to me and so helpful with my millions of questions. I know he is so busy but I never felt a sense of urgency from him to be some where else. he is great!
UofU Patient June 19, 2016I have complete confidence in Dr.Freedman and appreciate that he listened to my reservations about certain procedures.
UofU Patient June 16, 2016Dr. Freedman and his team are simple the best! Would highly recommend them to others and always feel like my health is in good hands when I work with Dr Freedman and his team.
UofU Patient June 14, 2016Dr. Freedman has been extremely helpful in diagnosing and treating my condition. He has been very responsive to my concerns and phone calls. I like his calm, thoughtful manner.
UofU Patient June 13, 2016Dr. Freedman is a wonderful doctor.
UofU Patient June 09, 2016I thought the care provider did a great job.
UofU Patient May 17, 2016seemed rather distracted and non-caring
UofU Patient April 28, 2016Dr Freedman,Brenda, Kelly and Marge are among the most caring and compassionate professionals that I have been involved with at the University Hospital.
UofU Patient April 25, 2016I am so impressed with the medical staff at the U. We will be transferring my husband's medical needs to the U of U.
UofU Patient April 25, 2016my providers are the very best in their field. they are experts, experienced and personally concerned about helping me be as healthy as possible
UofU Patient April 21, 2016professional and friendly.
UofU Patient April 05, 2016There has been nothing but good experiences with the care providers. They are the very best I have ever dealt with. Thank You for your concern and help. I couldn't be happier.
UofU Patient March 28, 2016Dr. Freed man is an amazing, kind, and patient physician who genuinely cares about his patients, explains all questions in a positive tone, delves deeply into what may be going on and makes suggestions as to what I can do. He does not "tell" me what to do...he, "asks me if I want to know or do something. The very best EP physician that I have ever known.
UofU Patient March 25, 2016Dr. Freedman is excellent. I have the upmost faith in his judgement and ability.
UofU Patient March 14, 2016A very professional group from top to bottom. Covered all areas of concern.
UofU Patient March 12, 2016I had to wait a few weeks for an available appointment but I do understand doctors get very busy. Overall the experience was good, the hospital was very clean the staff were curtious, kind and professional. The waiting area was relaxing and they offered me water. The only comment I really have is I was in the exam room for two hours and only spoke to Doctor freedman for five minutes. I understand he's a busy man and he has his PA and other assistants but considering I pay to see him and I was there for such a long time I would have expected more of his time. I saw his PA the most and was left waiting in the exam room for a good 20 minutes at one point without an update. I'm not from America and I don't know if it is the norm to not spend time with the Doctor you go to see but in England your appointment is with THAT Doctor and not all of his assistants. I believe if I could recommend any changes it would be that the Doctor you go to see if the Doctor you spend your appointment with the most.
