"Dr. Friedman Is a FANTASTIC DOCTOR! He does job great about letting you know step by step of what's happening as He performing the procedure. Always best to let her know that you're nervous and he'll speak slower as she continues the procedure. He's staff is amazing too. Dr. Friedman's nurses are very kind and understand the embarrassment of this kind of treatment. Never did I feel judged."
"From the moment I stepped into the office I felt very well cared for. I felt this from the nurses that took my information for my file, and from the nurses that explained how to prepare for my procedure. They also showed great care at the separate office where the procedure took place. Dr. Friedman ensured I was well informed up to the day of my procedure and shortly there after. Their nursing staff also took great care of me while I was recovering. For this being my first time having to undergo this type of procedure I’m glad it was done by Dr. Friedman and his staff. It quick and painless, I would highly recommend his office."
"I had to have a colonoscopy done and wasn't looking forward to the process. I was fortunate to find a good doctor in Dr. Friedman and I'm thankful for that. I would recommend him to anyone looking for gastrointestinal medical services."
"Dr. Friedman is an excellent Doctor. He's very kind and listens to what you have to say. I like that he does not dismiss any of my concerns or questions. He has compassion and true concern for your well being. Grateful that he has been so thorough in my treatment and is doing everything possible to assure I am staying healthy and on the road to recovery."
"I cannot begin to tell you what a wonderful and phenomenal doctor Dr. Friedman is! I had gone to others for a specific concern and Dr. Friedman was right on top of the situation. He and his staff are caring and very discerning as to the patient's needs. I highly recommend Dr. Friedman."
"Dr. Daniel Friedman is an outstanding physician and I recommend him without reservation. He is on time for appointments, listens well, and suggests treatment/procedures/testing that are evidence based and he cites the science behind his suggestions and recommended action. I have seen him regularly for about 10 years."
"Dr Friedman has been our family's gastroenterologist for over 15 years and provided the best care for digestive issues and annual preventive procedures."
"Dr. Friedman performed both my wife's and my upper and lower GI procedures. He found a froth in my wife's colon. He took the initiative to contact the surgeon who removed the growth. He is an amazing doctor."
"I’ve gone to Dr Friedman for a long time. He’s treated treated me for ulcerative colitis for years. I trust him. My total health is and has been his primary concern since I started going to him. He’s the best."
"This was my second colonoscopy with Dr. Friedman and, as always, it was an exceptionally pleasant experience. The entire staff; from nurses, anesthesiologist, front desk personnel, and Dr. Friedman; was helpful and informative. I felt very well taken care of and questions were answered before I had time to ask them. I highly, highly recommend Texas Endoscopy!"
"Organized, professional, and delightful staff with clean facility! Dr. Freidman and his CRNA, nurses, etc were thorough and provided some humor during what would normally be considered an "unpleasant" experience (first colonoscopy)!!"
"Went in for a colonoscopy. Dr. Friedman comes across as very knowledgeable, takes time to provide answers to questions asked. Colonoscopy clinic staff is excellent, efficient and on time."
"Every staff member was excellent and the process was incredibly efficient! I believe this was my 3rd colonoscopy with this team and they have all been as positive as an experience as this procedure could be."
"Dr. Friedman Is a FANTASTIC DOCTOR! He does job great about letting you know step by step of what's happening as He performing the procedure. Always best to let her know that you're nervous and he'll speak slower as she continues the procedure. He's staff is amazing too.

"Dr. Friedman has been a caring and knowledgeable doctor that has given attentive focus to all my medical needs related to his practice. He has a friendly staff that makes your visit a pleasurable experience. I am new to his practice but I am very pleased with the care I have received."
"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 no non sense doctor he gets to the point simple and quickly as possible, while still making sure your questions or concerns are addressed."
"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."
"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 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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
