Explanned everything and answered all my questions
Dr. doesn't keep appointments time on a regular basis. Yesterday I've got the phone call from the office asking for a favor to bring my 100 years old father earlier than his appointment. I brought him half hour before, but our waiting time was endless anyway. Dr. is never in a hurry to see the patient.
Dr. Freilich- Was so much nicer this visit! It was appreciated.
He has a gentle touch when injecting the need on the eye
This was my first interaction with Dr. Freilich. He was polite, thorough and informative.
This doctor is very sufficient and straight to the point. He’s the one that told me I have cataracts in both of my eyes whereas prior to multiple visits before.
a PLEASURE TO DEAL WITH dR. fREILICH
Very professional and attentive to my concerns !

Dr Freilich is always on top of my case and gives me a clear explanation of my medical needs in a clear and understandable way
