Wonderful doctor. You can most definitely trust that what you are going in to see him for will be addressed and your needs will be met.
He went above and beyond to make sure that I understood what was going on and he was patient waiting for me to explain myself. By far the best orthopedic surgeon I know.
Dr. Freedberg has been spot on with the number of issues I’ve had down the line. I feel very confident he assessed this new one correctly and will get it straightened out. Very grateful for my relationship with him.
The best n the Midwest.
Great doctor and staff very professional service well done
Phenomenal staff and Dr. Extremely caring and considerate.
Worst experience. For an appointment at 3pm, doesn't come to check till 4pm and then acts all grumpy that he is busy checking other patients.
Does a good job.
A great doctor who listens to his patients
Very good care, thorough in explaining the next steps in my physical therapy as well.
