Michael L. Friedman, MD 4201 Torrance Boulevard, Torrance, CA 90503

"I was referred to Dr.Friedman in 1995 as I needed a specialist. Needless to say nearly 25 years later and I'm still a faithful patient. Dr. Friedman is a no nonsense highly knowledgeable and experienced OB /GYN and I'm thankful that he is still practicing. Oh, and as a response to the review down below that gave a one star review - in 24 years I have never waited more than 5 minutes to be seen. I have literally never been canceled. When I was pregnant I witnessed him see me for a quick check up and he ran out so fast I wondered what the heck and come to find out he had two women at two different hospitals in labor. He doesn't play around and he gets the job done. He could've canceled me, but he didn't. Furthermore I would blame UCLA for your mishap and I'm glad he's not with UCLA as my care was much better with his private practice. I think you have it backwards."

"This doctor and his staff lack basic professionalism. My wife had a routine appointment with Friedman and when she arrived at the office, the front desk simply said the doctor is not in and asked her to reschedule. No email or text notification that he's not in. Wasted the patient's time and money. BTW, he only works 9-5, no exceptions. So if you're in labor outside that time range, you're stuck with some random hospital doc who does not know you or your pregnancy history. He even proudly told us one of his patient had a baby at 8:30am and he didn't go because he only works 9am - 5pm. This is perhaps the reason UCLA Medical Group is discontinuing their relationship with Friedman."
