Honestly very shocked at how easy it seemed for him to interrupt me, disregard my concerns in the judgment of other providers I've had, and immediately lean on the one type of treatment that my insurance apparently doesn't cover. There didn't seem to be any conversation outside of pressuring me to do the PRP injections and I really felt like I was being sold something as opposed to being cared for by a doctor. He disregarded the diagnoses that I've received from multiple other doctors and what truly felt like an effort to sell me this one type of treatment that no other medical professional has ever suggested to me as if it's some panacea. He claimed the hand pain I've been experiencing is a neurological issue despite trying to explain to him that I've had several doctors including the head of neurology at Johns Hopkins tell me quite definitively that is not the issue. A bold claim for someone asking me to fork over several thousand out of pocket for a treatment no insurance covers
Dr. Friedlis was very personable and very helpful.
