Patient Reviews
Sep 05, 2023
I suffered with Trigeminal Neuralgus for about 20 years & it was becoming unbearable. I was fortunate enough to find out about Dr Friedman in a freak situation, I ran into a sweet young girl whose grandmother had surgery & was cured. After going everywhere even Mayo, I finally felt heard & hopeful & I was cured!!!!! The Microvascular Decompression was my cure as it was for my new friend. Trigeminal Neuralgis is called suicide disease because it is soooo painful. He is my saviour! I would trust my brain to him anytime! Thank you Dr Friedman & Pam Ridder!
