I found Dr. Frydman to have excellent bedside manner. He talked me through options, procedures, and answered any questions I asked. The only (minor) complaint I have is regards to scheduling. It would have been nice to schedule surgery and the post-op visit at the same time so I could secure time off work as far in advance as I did for surgery. I had to push my pre-op follow up a bit further out than was recommended due to not giving work adequate advanced notice.

He asked me, pertinent questions, examined me and explained to me what I needed to do and why. When I got nervous and asked if I could bring my wife in so he could explain to her he was very nice about it and went over the whole thing a second time just so we would be comfortable.

I rated Dr. James D. Frydman a 10/10 because of his exceptional skill, professionalism, and compassionate care throughout my umbilical hernia surgery. Dr. Frydman took the time to thoroughly explain the procedure, answer all my questions, and ensure I felt confident and at ease every step of the way. His attention to detail and dedication to delivering the best possible outcome were evident from our first consultation to the post-operative care. Dr. Frydman's approachable and caring demeanor made a significant difference in my experience, and I am grateful for his outstanding support and expertise during my surgery and recovery.
