Very satisfied with Dr Freeman and the results of the eye surgery. However, the application of the scopolamine patch without a discussion of its side affects resulted in my urine retention necessitating a catheterization this morning, 5 days after surgery. I've never had scopolamine before and had no idea of its side affects and would have refused it if I'd known. What could have been a trouble free recovery has been miserably uncomfortable. But again the surgery itself and the results have been very satisfactory.

Waited a long time to see him it look at the patient for a few minutes. Asked a question about the syndrome and didn’t give me much information besides the background. I wanted to know how it affected the patient.

He was very friendly and cognisant. He listened to both me and my child and made us feel welcome and answered any questions or concerns. He was funny too. 😀.

Dr. Freeman was inspired to pursue a career in medicine by his immigrant grandfather, who felt doctors deserved great respect for what they do, and his oldest brother, who preceded him in his own medical career by five years.
In his spare time, Dr. Freeman enjoys spending time with his wife, Linda, a communications professor. Their two grown sons are thriving in their careers of law and medicine. Dr. Freeman is a lifelong Twins, Vikings, and Timberwolves fan. He also enjoys traveling around the world with his family, and has participated in a variety of medical missions in Central America, South America, Europe, Asia, and Africa.
Dr. Freeman is known for his comic antics, and his vast assortment of colorful, cartoon-inspired ties. He believes that engaging children as valued individuals and fully educating parents are the keys to a successful practice and treatment outcomes. He clearly enjoys his work, and based on the sounds of laughter that constantly surround him at work, his patients clearly enjoy him as well.
