Dr. Elliott T. Friedman, MD 210 East Main Street, Middletown, NY 10940

"I know I see his negative reviews from others, but being the son of a doctor, I'm not as much concerned as bedside manner (which I'm fully capable to put in place if concerned with it) I'm concerned with competence. He's been spot on with me from day one. Was staight forward when diagnosed with Parathyroid disease and it set me back not knowing what exactly it was, but he recommened my surgery to remove a tumer with an INCREDIBLE Dr Koyfman from Allergy ENT. 20 mins later it was gone and my calcium levels lowered. I find Dr Friedman straight forward and his staff exceptional. Again, some have good experienece and are straight to the point, some people may not want that type of doctor. I find him extremely competent in his field of study."

"I went into his office to show him I had a negative reaction to a medication my skin was covered with red hives. He physically saw this and his rude staff/ nurses! The very next appointment he says explain to me what your reaction looked like! He totally forgot he saw me, yet charged me fully for 10 minutes!! Unreal!!! No one took the time to chart. He’s rude and his staff, they call you with a negative attitude as if your not paying for services. Find a professional!!!"

"He is SO rude. I went back twice hoping he was just having a bad day. Nope. He is just a jerk with a superiority complex!! I had gastric bypass and held my weight within 5 lbs for 8 years then suddenly gained 50lbs in 5 months. He took blood work and because it all came back normal....he told me I had to eat only when hungry and stop when full. Really? Maybe he missed the whole “held my weight within 5lbs for EIGHT YEARS!!!” I had a tumor. Such a jerk. I’m sitting in another doctors office as I write this. Hope she had some bedside manners because he has NONE!!!"

"Extremely rude. I saw this doctor because my awesome Dr. Kats moved away. He jumped to conclusions and insisted on a drastic irreversible procedure. When I declined, he refused treatment. The entire visit did not last five minutes. Patient beware."
