    Dr Terry Friedlander is an incredible doctor. There aren't many doctors like him today. One of the best. He really listened took the time to address my questions (and I had a lot of them) and gave straightforward honest empathetic and thorough information. He tells it like it is but goes above and beyond to help weigh the pros and cons of every decision. My cancer is complicated and I'm grateful to have Dr Friedlander on my team!

    Dr. Friedlander is one of the easiest care givers to communicate with that I'm fortunate to have. I feel free to discuss almost anything with him and that he respects what I have to offer. What he has to say is very important to me and my health so anything he has to say I receive with the highest regard.
