How likely are you to recommend Dr. Freedman?
Apr 15, 2023
I’ve been seeing Dr. Freedman for over 30 years, since I was 10, so maybe I’m biased, but he is a great doctor and an excellent surgeon (not just my opinion, but according to nurses and other health experts at the hospitals he’s worked with, and nurses know things that patients rarely find out). He is wonderful about post operative pain management, some doctors are so scared of FDA regulations that they don’t prescribe proper pain medication, he makes sure that it is on your chart if needed when you wake up, so you can just focus on healing. I’ve had multiple surgeries that include ureteroscopy and I’ve never had any complications, he is incredibly skilled with controlling the scopes and lasers required so you don’t need open surgery. He listens, looks me in the eyes, and doesn’t rush through explaining procedures and is always willing to pull up the tests or films and show why something is necessary. He has helped me immensely with appeals when my insurance tried to deny coverage or only paid out of network benefits. And his staff is very loyal, some of them have stayed with home for decades and that doesn’t happen often in Las Vegas. I sent my husband to him for a vasectomy when we were done with having babies and he had no complications plus Dr. Freedman confirmed that the procedure was successful with a second sperm count check (which is apparently not standard practice with the number of medical professionals who have asked me if I still get a period before having certain medical procedures and when I tell them that my husband had a vasectomy, they start to tell me that isn’t 100% certain and then they seem surprised when I tell them it was confirmed via sperm count after it had healed have been surprised that it was confirmedHe also did my husband’s vasectomy when it was time, no complications there. My biggest concern is that he might retire someday and I’ll be forced to find another urologist, but thanks to his hip replacements, he’s no longer limping around the office and able to stand for long surgeries again, so hopefully with those titanium femur heads, he’ll be healthy and spry for another 30 years!!
