      Dr. Friedlander is one of the best doctors I have ever had and I am 75. He is knowledgeable, personable, has an amazing bedside manner, and takes the time to go over the issues I have had with my cancer. I have amazing doctors in my 3.5 year prostate cancer experience at UCSF...I have been luck to have Dr. Carroll, Dr. Gottschalk, Dr. Breyer, and the staff at Osher and at radiology oncology at Mt. Zion. They are all amazing, but having Dr. Friedlander to help me through this has been a gift that I am so thankful for I cannot even put it into words!
