However as a complaint he is so good that if you having a GI medical condition, he is liked so much, you can't get an apt for right away, I seen him recently he said to make a follow up apt, this is February and his next available is June. So I make an apt with, his PA and she is also, very nice and I am okay to see her as well. She is very good about explaining things and what to do next."
"Dr. Friedman is very thorough about medical issues and is very good about listening to you as an individual patient. You don't get the feeling he is merely looking to prescribe medicines, but rather that he's truly trying to find you relief from the gastrointestinal issues you may be facing. His office staff is also very thorough and are very good about following up with you even if you are apt to forget your follow ups."
"Dr.Friedman was very approachable and quick to diagnose my condition. I was suffering for 14 days with terrible acid reflux and high BP. Doctor quickly got to the root cause by performing an endoscopy. Endoscopy was performed seamlessly and observations explained thoroughly.

He and the nurses and the anesthesiologist were great!! Thank you too all!!"

"Washington Gastroenterology at the Federal Way location provided excellent services and high professional standard of care, from the reception desk to the admitting nurse, procedural team, anesthesiologist and specialist physician, Dr. Kevin Leung. Everything was explained to me in detail while I was being carefully screened and evaluated during check-in and prep for my procedures, and and I was given full opportunity to ask questions as needed. The entire staff was both professional and caring. My procedures went smoothly and I was made comfortable during this time. Post-procedure, I was attended to carefully and given high quality care and monitoring, with ongoing instructions given for easing my recovery. A nursing staff member explained my written post-procedure packet, then Dr. Leung came in to debrief me further on the procedure and initial results, and to follow up on a previous discussion of my digestive system care, medication and lifestyle. I will receive a written letter shortly with the lab results of the samples taken from my procedure, and a follow-up office visit has already been scheduled. I am highly satisfied with my experience at Washington Gastroenterology at Federal Way, and would unreservedly recommend this staff to others."

"Dr. Friedman is a no non sense doctor he gets to the point simple and quickly as possible, while still making sure your questions or concerns are addressed."
"After an exhaustive search and being disappointed by several doctors and surgeons, I finally found Dr. Friedman. His office staff were efficient and friendly. I actually got into an exam room and seen by the doctor before my scheduled appointment time. He listened to me and scheduled me for a procedure the next day. He is an awesome doctor."
"The staff was kind, very thorough and helped me feel very comfortable. What they didn't do was prepare me for how fast Dr. Friedman talks! You better pay attention and listen closely because he's definitely one of the fastest talkers ever! BUT, the appointment went well, I felt heard and well taken care of."
"I've been going to Dr. Friedman for several years. I've got a fairly complicated GI history between symptoms and surgery. My last visit to Dr. Friedman was very helpful w/ a plan of "attack" and he helped me come to terms with the situation and helped ease my mind."
"This was my first colonoscopy, and Dr. Friedman and his staff were wonderful. Dr. Friedman took his time to explain everything to me and the actual procedure was done in top-notch professional manner. I couldn't be more pleased with how everyone did their jobs,."
"I was thoroughly impressed with this office. I was referred by my PCP for a specialist consult and endoscopic exam. I called ahead to see if my unique insurance arrangement would be compatible with their office and they stated that it was. Well, they were halfway correct - the doctor was in network but the actual imaging center was not. The doctor sat down with me and personally went through his phone/google until he found another GI specialist that he trusted who was in-network with my insurance. Then they refunded the entire amount of my office visit. I guess I could be frustrated that I spent a couple hours on the whole ordeal, but I was impressed by him, his helpfulness, his staff, and their willingness to bend over backwards to get me where I needed to be. Not very many medical offices would go to these lengths."
"The staff if so efficient, friendly, and professional. Dr. FRIEDMAN was on top of my issues and had sound recommendations. No one has called to schedule my procedure., but it has only been a day or 2."
"Dr. Friedman is personable and made me feel at ease with a difficult prognosis. He's knowledgeable and kind and he personally followed up with me to see how I was doing post-appointment. Highly recommended."
"Dr. Friedman is a great physician. He is very informative about what is going on. He is detailed oriented. He has a good bedside manner. He is personal as well. For my first appointment, his staff was quick to get me in since I was out of town. He has a very efficient and effective office staff. They follow up when they are supposed to, and they call you back when they are supposed to. From being in the medical field, you do not see that much anymore. I have no disappointments with him nor his office staff."
"One of the most professional doctors I have had. Four years ago I had some stomach pains and Dr. Friedman was not one to just throw meds at me. He offered up an Endoscopy to take a look before he could make an accurate diagnosis. Glad I did, he discovered I had the H-Pylori bacteria, which can become very serious if not taken care of. He put me on antibiotics and I was back to normal. Fast forward present, I was experiencing bad acid reflux, so I went back to Dr. Friedman. He could tell I was worried about having hpylori again. He offered to start work earlier the next morning and squeeze me in for an endoscopy. Who does that? A great doctor does that! He found a polyp in my esophagus and removed it. Biopsy also came back negative for h-pylori and life is good again. Great bedside manor. He's thorough in explaining everything you want to know and answered all my questions. Office staff are also extremely helpful and friendly."
"I had been having some unpleasant health issues. Dr. Friedman listened to my concerns and offered up several options to try to improve my digestive health. He was very professional, knowledgeable, and took the time to make sure he answered all of my questions. I'm happy to have found such a good doctor."
