Rita Cara 5 months ago

Fantastic experience: So beyond thankful I found Dr. Loretta! After some research I stumbled upon her page. And she contacted me back almost immediately and made me feel like I was her sole patient from the start. She gives you her undivided attention and care. I am so thankful for her. After only one session, I feel so much better!

Jennifer 5 months ago

Fantastic experience: I am so thankful and grateful I found Dr. Friedman! I was recommended to her by a friend after I had a little bit of a scare with some test results I received from a different doctor. As soon as I called Dr. Friedman to make an appointment, she immediately put my mind at ease and that’s when I knew I was in good hands. I have only been working with her for a few short weeks and I am already feeling so amazing … physically and mentally. Her thoroughness and knowledge are both astounding.

Kelly Evans 6 months ago

Fantastic experience: After a frustrating few months of searching for answers about my symptoms and how to heal them, I found Dr. Friedman and am so grateful I did. I am strictly a telemedicine patient and it has not affected my experience at all. She immediately put into motion a plan for both diagnosis and solutions to return my body to optimal health. She is straightforward but kind in her sharing of information and the truth of the matter. I feel better than I have in months! I couldn’t recommend her more highly.

Sean Endler 6 months ago

Fantastic experience: A True Healer Who Sees the Whole Person! Dr. Loretta has been a critical part of my healing journey. Unlike traditional doctors who often focus only on symptoms, she looked deeper—identifying and treating the *root causes* of my illness. Her approach was comprehensive, compassionate, and deeply intuitive. What stood out most was the personalized care and alternative supplements she recommended—options I never would’ve found through conventional channels. These weren’t just band-aids; they were tools that truly supported my body’s healing process. Thanks to Dr. Loretta’s guidance, I not only felt better physically, but I also felt *seen*—like someone was finally listening to the whole story of my health. Her knowledge of integrative and functional medicine is exceptional, and her dedication to her patients is clear in every interaction. I’m deeply grateful for her care, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for answers and true healing.

Donna Sandberg 7 months ago

Fantastic experience: Dr. Friedman uses her vast knowledge to get to the root cause of your problem. She actually listens and Truly cares about your health and well-being. I look forward to our telemedicine appointments as a California resident. 2025 - I am finally beginning to feel like my old self and look forward to enjoying our soon to be eight grandchildren!

Fantastic experience: Dr. Friedman is an excellent and caring doctor. She takes the time to throughly understand my concerns and has given me valuable insights into what could be causing my issues. The supplements recommended arrived quickly, and as soon I informed her I had received them, she immediately called to provide the directions. Although we’re still in the process of running tests I’m grateful for the level of care she has provided. She has checked in several times via text, and when I had a question about the supplements, she not only responded quickly but also called to ensure I understood everything correctly. Her dedication to my well-being has been outstanding.

Giuditta Gareri 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Dr. Friedman is a genius lifesaver. I’m from Canada and she has been there for me from the moment my life was turned upside down with a breast cancer diagnosis. I’m so grateful for her expertise, there’s no one in North America that knows about the lymph system and how it affects everything like she does! Her nutrition expertise is above and beyond anyone I have met. She took the time to go through every single one of my supplements and the list was so long, and was able to simplify and add. She’s honest, fair, a true professional and expert. She goes above and beyond, working hard to change the terrain in my body where cancer can’t return! She prescribed the most comprehensive test I’ve seen that we actually understand what’s happening in my body and we’re not guessing! I feel like I can breathe a sigh of relief under her care. I’m lucky to have found her and have her by my side!! I’m looking forward to visiting in New York and receiving lymph treatment by the one and only! Thank you!!!!

Coleen Rudden 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: How to begin. At 50 years old I was in a car accident, the front passenger. The other driver ran the stop sign. It took 3 police officers (young and strong) 5 minutes to pull the door open and get me into the ambulance. Now I mention this because it is the reason I sought out the help of Dr. Friedman. The bone never broke, but it did die, in my body while I was still using it. Now of course total hip replacement surgery became necessary. You think that’s the end of it, but not so much. The dead bone caused damage to other systems in my body, including the lymphatic system drainage. So, over the (16) years this process was happening the toxins went unchecked. Weight gain which was trapped fluid. Numbness in my feet (very painful) which makes walking difficult and limits your footwear choices (girls live for footwear). So, now what has happened since I quite just by chance found Dr. Friedman. In 3 treatments (one a week, should be more often), but even with that, I have been able to sleep w/o a pain med for the first time in 18 months. There is still more recovery to achieve but I know I have someone who has answers to the solve the problem. A doctor who treats me for unrelated issues saw the swelling in my lower legs, ankles and feet and was very blunt and honest. She is with NY Presbyterian/Weill Cornell “with swelling like this you should be admitted to the hospital. But they have no answers or treatment for this condition and if you have found someone that can treat you effectively, go for it. I don’t care that the other doctors or the hospital don’t agree.” Bless her heart because she wants what is best for the patient. I now know that there is an end in sight and 1 month ago I didn’t feel that way.

Peter 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Dr. Friedman saved my life. That’s not an exaggeration. Before I met her I was in the lowest point of my life and who knows how much worse I would have gotten. Exhausted doesn’t begin to describe how I felt. Everything from my muscles, my joints, even my thoughts and ability to think were heavy. Hopelessness also set in because it felt impossible play with my young son, or be a good husband for my wife - and she deserves the best. Even my performance at work suffered. Every day I was miserable and unmotivated. I’m only 36! This shouldn’t be happening! No doctor had an answer as to why I felt this way, I was about ready to accept my fate. That is, until I met Dr. Friedman. Dr Friedman quickly diagnosed me and started me on a supplement regimen. Within a few days I was feeling significantly better. It’s been a few months now and I’m feeling continually better with passing time. I’m finally getting my life back and giving my family the father and husband they deserve. The most significant change is my mind. My thinking is far clearer and I feel motivated again. My life is literally renewed and I’m a completely different person from a few months ago. I would recommend Dr. Friedman to anyone and everyone!

Fantastic experience: Dr. Friedman is an astonishing alternative doctor, she is very knowledgeable and professional. She explains all about the lymphatic system very clearly. Her curious and investigative mind has the ability to provide you with the best type of test and treatment suited for your body. After my third treatment, I feel more energetic, sleep better at night, my tinnitus has stopped completely and my immune system is the highest it’s been after my radiation treatment. Dr. Friedman is very respectful and has the ability to connect with you, making it a more pleasant experience. She provides all the information, so you know where you stand immediately and what actions should be taken thereafter.

T Wannamaker 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I live in Canada and my daughter has been unwell. I have taken her to many doctors trying to figure out how to get her better, with no resolve. I found Dr. Friedman on Instagram and sent her a message. She replied right away and said she could help. Her testing was so simple and gave over 40 pages of results. My daughter is healing with natural supplements. No drugs!! Dr. friedman stays in touch and is always checking in. She cares about her patients and is what a health practitioner should be! I highly recommend her services.

Patti Meadows 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: After 3 months of suffering extreme pain where my PC doctor could not find any way to relieve my symptoms, I searched for a specialist. I found Dr. Loretta Friedman and agreed to work with her and follow her protocols. I experienced restorative function after the first visit and am on my way to recovery, which is imperative to my health and well-being going forward. Dr. Loretta Friedman performed what mainstream medical could not, for which I am grateful. I highly recommend her.

She tells it like it is, and in my book, that is what I want to hear!

Fantastic experience: I have been treated for various and sundry orthopedic issues for over 20 years . I have complete confidence in her. Over the course of time she has generally treated the area of my body that has caused me the most discomfort ie back , neck , shoulders and legs . That said , I have been suffering from foot pain in both feet for 11 years . It seems to be related to spinal cord damage and related surgeries . I have complained of these pains to my surgeons , my neurologists , diagnosticians at the Mayo Clinic and a few podiatrists . I have tried orthotics , pain pills and prayer . About a month ago I visited Loretta primarily about a stiff neck and shoulder blade . I offhandedly mentioned the pain in both my feet which I would characterize on my pain scale as a constant 7 or 8 . . Loretta spoke to me about Shock Wave Therapy and she was usual quite optimistic and I was usual skeptical. She convinced me to try it. I have undergone 3 sessions and my pain has now receded to a 3 or 4. That may seem like just a number but I can now spend much of my day not thinking about my feet . I have suffered so long that I am truly cautious about this progress as I have been living as a surgical Guinea pig for about 25 years . But I am feeling real relief and when the opportunity to send in a review came along I felt it was incumbent upon me to share my experience. I don’t know if this will last but I have spent a good part of the last 3 decades trying to deal with pain and now I’m cautiously thrilled. It may not be for everyone but maybe it’s for one of the people who are reading this . Good Luck !!

Fantastic experience: I was referred by a friend who highly recommended Dr. Friedman. So glad I took his advice to set up an appointment. My back was pinching with intense spasms. Within 2 sessions my back went from a 10 with pain to a 1. On my way to recovery! Highly recommend!!!

Sandra Smith 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: My ears have been blocked for a couple of months and my ENT told me they didn't see any congestion and to take a claritin every day. After a few weeks I knew I had to go another route. I found Dr. Friedman and everything she said to me made sense so I gave it a try. Four visits in my ears are clear and I'm sleeping better. She takes the time to explain everything that she's doing and how toxins affect us. I'm so happy I found her and have already referred a couple of friends.

Se7en Chen 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Dr. Friedman is the most incredible doctor I've ever met anywhere in the states. Her humbleness and helpfulness is beyond just a family doctor. She identifies herself mainly as a chiropractor but she's just so much more than that. She gives incredible referrals and check on you via text on a regular base. One key thing is that if you are late for 3 times, she will drop you as a patient... Be on time!!!

Jordan Kelliher 3 years ago

Negative experience: Horrible customer service experience with Dr. Loretta T Friedman. She is rude and uses completely unprofessional and inappropriate language while gauging customers for money. The experience seems like she cares more about herself than her customers. Terrible representation of the medical industry. Will actively be advising others to NOT go through this company or interact with Dr. Loretta T Friedman. This is an industry that should NOT be shaming their customers and clients.

Dude, I've never seen you or heard of you in my life, I never saw you in the office or treated you, you must be hallucinating. I checked and double checked the data base to make sure I wasn't losing my mind.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Loretta is wonderful! Came to her for some issues with TMJ as traditonal chiropractic did not feel appropriate for the issue. She has been amazing in not only correcting the issue at hand but working to realign everything. Not going to lie, I was very sore after my first visit, but now I am sleeping deeper than I have in years

Blake-Gavin Buna 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Always leave with my body feeling refreshed and in tune. Been coming here for years and from the start, Dr Friedman helped me identify what my body was going through and then executes the necessary recovery for my body. I typically experience back, shoulder, neck pain. Dr Friedman uses her knowledge and skill to properly realign my spine and put my body back to its normal functions, if not better. She also does lymph drainage through foot detox as well. I definitely recommend her services if you're looking for more than a short term fix. You're doing your body a favor coming here. Exceptional knowledge, skill and chiro practice at Dr. Friedman's establishment.

Fantastic experience: Doctor Loretta T Friedman is the best chiropractor i have ever been too, she made me feel very comfortable and explained everything to me step by step as she was working on me. Also she is the only one in New York who uses the the directional non force technique which makes her different. 5 out of 5 stars I highly recommend her.

Joy-Marie Kaler 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: It's pretty amazing, and hard to believe but after just one session with Dr. Loretta I saw the inflammation in my body go down. Way down. I would wake up in the morning without agonizing pain in my hips and back and I was able to sleep through the night. She recognized that my inflammation was caused by a digestion issue and was able to prescribe some supplements that made my symptoms a non issue

Grace Kau 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: I've had chronic back pain for as long as I can remember. I've tried everything from physical therapy, acupuncture, massages and a pain management dr and nothing gave me relief. Then, I went to Dr Friedman. She is a miracle worker. I would go to her everyday if I could do. After every session, I do not feel any more pain. You don't even have to tell her where you have pain, she will find it and knows what is out of place or misaligned and gently pushing things back into place. Dr Friedman is also very knowledgeable and will explain everything to you if you don't understand. She's amazing and would recommend her to anybody that is looking to have a pain free life.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Loretta cured my 3-year bout of insomnia after a car accident--IN ONE VISIT! She was gentle, informative, and truly cared about the results. (She called the next day to find out how I slept.) Now THAT's the type of medical care everyone deserves. Dr. Loretta is the gold standard when it comes to alleviating suffering and helping patients make informed decisions about their health. THANK YOU, DR. LORETTA!

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Dr. Friedman's services; she provides exceptional care and follow up to her patients. I had been suffering from neck, shoulder and hip pain for several months. After the first visit, I felt so much relief and was finally able to get a good night’s sleep. There was no neck cracking involved. Her technique is gentle, very effective and she provides explanations of her process as you are being treated. She also recommended natural supplements that worked immediately for other health issues that I was experiencing. I am really impressed by the treatment that I am receiving.

Dani Tomczak 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: I found Dr. Loretta at a difficult, painful time in my life. She responded to me almost immediately after requesting an appointment with her. From then on, it was an absolute pleasure to work with her. While she helps reduce the pain or work on a problem in your appointment, she will also work with you to get to the root of the problem so that it is solved for good. Beyond her expertise, she is genuinely a wonderful human being. I would recommend her to anyone in the NYC/NJ area.

Cynthia Moss 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Not one to run to a doctor and never have been for my back pain. Well, the time came and I prefer alternative practices that have been proven to heal where the doctor is knowledgeable and interested in helping you understand where the pain stems from. The directional non force technique that Dr. Friedman uses with great care and purpose allowed me to leave the office feeling less pain and confident in my chose to move forward with the plan of treatment. I highly recommend Dr. Friedman. She is caring, knowledgeable, and very accommodating.

Elissa Feldman 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Working with Dr. Friedman was great. Went in for shoulder and back pain that I had for months. After a few sessions with her I had zero pain. She walked me through how it would take a little time to address the root of the pain but after that I’d feel good as new. She definitely delivered on that promise. Would highly recommend!

Aneta d 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: I lived with back pain for years thinking I will never be able to get rid of it. Than I discovered Dr. Loretta Friedman and her Directional Non-Force Chiropractor technique. Just after first visit my body has experienced amazing healing results. For the first time in years I felt great! Dr. Loretta is a true healer. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for help with back pain.

Janice Williams 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend Synergy Health Associates for your health needs. My positive experience was with Dr. Loretta T. Friedman. She evaluated and diagnosed me as having Lymphedema. She then set-out a plan of action. I never felt rushed. She is compassionate and dedicated to good health.

Lisa Bonoff 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Dr. Loretta Friedman is a miracle worker! After years of suffering with back pain and going to the chiropractor to only return a week or two later with no solution in site. After a few sessions with Dr. Loretta we were able to pin point where the pain was coming from and work out a plan to make sure the pain wasn't going to return. I can't recommend her enough!

Jacob Metsa 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: I feel lucky to have found Dr. Friedman. She came recommended from a friend and my wife and I both have had ongoing back issues that she has helped with. We continue to go and always feel better after seeing her.

Hyeku Song 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Dr. Friedman came recommended to us from a professional dancer who had a ruptured disc. I didn’t want a chiropractor who would crack and align. I suffered 3 herniated discs over 15 years ago and still have flair ups every once in awhile. My husband threw out his back and could barely walk for a week. Once we got in touch with Dr. Friedman she was quick at scheduling. Communicated clearly and confirmed bookings. She was clear about what was going on with the both of us. She isn’t trying to get you to heavily rely on her help. She genuinely wants you to have a healthy life and live to your fullest. She’s able to help explain the pain and inflammation beyond alignment and explain about internal issues. She’s open to having open communication with your other health practitioners from your doctors to your trainer at the gym. We’re very grateful for her work and hope many other family and friends will get to experience her healing.

Siobhan Smith 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: I have had two visits with Dr Friedman so far. I feel so grateful to have found such a wonderful compassionate practitioner. After my first visit I immediately felt relief from my back pain. Dr Friedman took the time to explain what was likely causing my pain and how inflammation and stress are adding to my issues caused by sitting at a desk job all day. I know I have much work still do but with Dr Friedman’s gentle technique and holistic view of my care including my lifestyle and stress levels I feel confident I will reach a permanent pain free state in 2020!

azaria valentin 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Dr. Loretta Friedman is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING ! The office is easy to get to, it’s very clean and there’s a minimal wait time for appointments. Before I started seeing her I was in pain for months. What started off feeling like a sore hip/ lower back became what felt like a life altering disability. The soreness became sharp, stabbing pains that would leave me limping and limited to my house. Finally the pain became too much and I needed a chiropractor ASAP! Dr. Loretta did a full consultation with me in which she ; assessed misalignment in my body, created a plan of action specific to my desired outcome and also helped prescribe natural inflammatory medicine to help my recovery. After one session I felt immediate relief. After 3 sessions my body feels brand new. Most of my pain is gone and the rest is preventative measures moving forward. I can’t thank synergy enough for what it’s done for me.

Alok V 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: It is so rare to find health practitioners who actually care. Dr. Loretta is exceptional in this regard and so many others. She took my pain seriously and helped me come up with a wholistic plan to address my symptoms. I felt like a person, not a case study, and like all of my systems were being addressed at the same time, rather than in isolation. At every level she made me feel safe and accounted for — going out of her way to text me to check on me. I not only decreased my back and neck pain, but I learned so much about my body to care better for myself in the future.

Tahirah Muhammad 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: Dr. Loretta is very professional, kind, positive and has a broad range of knowledge. I started working with her almost a month ago and have no complaints. She's also very with communication and I rarely encounter this level of consistency and care. Would highly recommend!

Kristin Verde 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: Last year, Dr. Loretta Friedman gave me relief from crippling back pain that inhibited my ability to sleep, work, excercise, enjoy - anything. I was referred to her by a friend who had been treated for back pain. I didn’t call right away, I tried to “live” with the pain until, I couldn’t. I called her on a Monday, she had an appointment for me the next day! After a brief review of my health history and a few questions about my activity level she proceeded with her treatment. In this initial session, she identified other contributing factors to my condition that I wasn’t aware of and offered suggestions for me to improve. After this initial session, I left her office feeling so much BETTER! Thereafter, I had weekly follow-up treatments with Dr Friedman to further my progress which certainly reinforced my well being AND improved my posture! I still take treatments with Dr Friedman who remains exceptionally thourough. She delivers her extensive anatomical knowledge and chiropractic expertise to me in a manner that is relevant and clear. I distinctly understand what I need to do to care for myself. I can only offer highest recommendation to Dr Loretta Friedman - she changed my life for BETTER, I am GRATEFUL to her for my greatest asset - my health.

Ann-Marie Gover 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: Dr. Loretta Friedman was amazing. Her walls are covered with certifications and degrees, and her experience shows. She specializes in Direct Non Force Technique which means she isn't going to wack em' crack em' snap you back into place. Her approach seems lighter but don't be fooled you will feel it. It's almost like a series of brushes and taps and pushes but while she was adjusting me I could feel the energy in my body being moved. At one point I was writhing on the table and then immediately felt pain free. She is one of the best and a hidden gem in the city. Also LGBT friendly which is an obvious plus.

Taylor Grant 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: Dr Loretta Friedman is by far the best body worker in the biz. She is a chiropractor who uses Directional NON- Force technique. Very gentle but deep, powerful & effective! I went to her initially to address low back pain. I felt 70% better after ONE adjustment. Because she is so thorough, she uncovered some other serious issues (neck , shoulder and knees) that I had been ignoring. My body is feeling so much better. Improved sleep, energy and focus. We have added lymphatic drainage/detox to my program. Feeling great! Best investment I have made in myself. Book your appoinment now. You will not regret.

Marie Picard 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: Dr. Friedman is a very skilled practitioner. I have had SI joint issues for over 20 years, and traditional chiropractic adjustments would give me very temporary relief followed by greater instability of the joint. While I still have some nagging soreness, Dr. Friedman’s approach has restored my lower back’s stability, which means I’m no longer in constant fear of an acute injury.

Marah Woodring 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: Dr. Friedman’s knowledge of the body is seemingly unparalleled. I visited with severe back pain from an injury that had occurred 6 months prior. Previous doctor’s visits resulted in solutions made up of muscle relaxers and rest/stretching, while offering temporary relief the pain frequently returned. Dr. Friedman’s goal is to work with you on a plan to become pain free in the long term - although it should be noted that her plans are actually quite effective and in a short period of time you will be able to achieve long term relief. She is compassionate and listens to your questions/concerns while also explaining precisely what is going on and why you are feeling certain symptoms. She is a true educator. I left my initial visit feeling significant relief, but as with any serious injury not immediate. Dr. Friedman will be honest with you about what you should expect and with each visit make sure you left the last with some level of improvement. I have now visited 4 times and feel 90% better. I can’t explain the technique but I can assure you it works - if you put your trust in her she will not disappoint. As she always says, no one has to live in pain, so if you are suffering don’t wait to visit her!!

Fantastic experience: Dr. Loretta is a true life saver. She is patient, kind, and beyond knowledgeable. She is constantly checking in and making sure her patients feel good and only uses natural products and solutions. Her technique took me from a painful state where I could barely walk to actually being able to dance at my best friends wedding. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

Fantastic experience: After struggling with moderate to severe back pain for eight weeks, I finally brought myself to into Synergy Health to see Dr. Loretta Friedman. After *ONE* visit, I felt 70% better. With only a couple more sessions with Dr. Loretta, I am back to my normal, active self. She is one of few chiropractors who practices a technique called directional non force therapy, which is gentle and incredibly effective. The whole point is to provide maximum, long lasting relief in a swift and effective manner. Low numbers of initial visits without the need for frequent follow up is the clear intention of this method. For those who are in pain and are tired of suffering, visit Dr. Loretta to truly heal.

Fantastic experience: Get treated with Dr. Loretta Friedman is the best thing that have happened to me, after having given birth, I was with an unbearable lower back pain, after the first session I felt much better, and much lighter. Going with the Dr Loretta is a unique experience, she cares about you, and makes sure you feel good after the session, she is more than you can expect from a doctor, she heals you.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Friedman was incredible. I have been searching for a doctor to help me since I hurt my back ten months ago. I’ve tried everything and a friend referred me. I’m so incredibly happy I decided to make an appointment because Dr. Friedman was able to assess my body and ailments in a way no other doctor could. I’m so happy I FINALLY found someone who knows what they are talking about and can help me get back to running after all these months!

Fantastic experience: Dr. Loretta is an absolute expert and incredible healer. I was expereincing mid-back pain and after doing a deep tissue massage and a traditional chiropractic appointment, I was left unable to walk. Out of desperation, I visited Dr. Loretta and within an hour my pain had dropped from a 9 to a 1. I practically skipped home. I work in fitness and movement so I've tried pretty much everything out there and I've never seen anything as effective and safe as DNF. No cracking or aggressive adjustments, just smart alignments. I've been going regularly and feel better than I have in years. Trust me. Go. Go now.

Fantastic experience: I have a history of back issues including sciatica. I also sit most of the day which does not help matters. I came to Dr. Loretta with a stiff and painful lower back and pain in my left hip as well as ZERO energy. I literally slept my days away because being awake for more than two hours at a time was a huge struggle. I can't say my back is completely better (A life long problem will take a while to fix) but I do have increased mobility. I don't worry that my back will go out at any moment! The more important thing to me is that she gave me my life back. As mentioned earlier, I was sleeping my life away. Dr. Loretta performed a cell test on me and made some recommendations based on the results. The supplements have given me a great increase in energy! It's also helped my brain clarity. I can now sit and concentrate on things and my memory has improved. I no longer have to sleep all day and I feel productive and accomplished.

Fantastic experience: I came into Dr. Friedman’s Office with acute lower back pain with muscle spasms. Dr. Friedman took the time to take a detailed medical history and pinpoint where my issues were originating from. She did a thorough examination and treatment on the first visit. I was able to walk out of her office in significantly less pain then I walked in! She was extremely professional and caring. I have tried many other treatments throughout the years with minimal success until now. If you are suffering from pain I highly recommend you go see Dr. Loretta Friedman.

Fantastic experience: I have been suffering from a non-union fracture in my ankle for quite some time. It got to the point where every step I took was extremely painful. The orthopedist wanted to perform surgery to put screws in my ankle, which I am dead set against. Three treatments with Dr. Loretta and my ankle is pain free! Although treating my ankle was the main objective, she also addressed the dizziness I've been experiencing lately. During those adjustments she also treated me for that. What a relief!!!! I would highly recommend Dr.Friedman to anyone in pain. She is truly amazing!

Gina Molinari 7 years ago

Fantastic experience: I have been completely consumed with pain for 18 years and it was as if I was estranged from my own body. At the age of 53, I felt like I was 83 leaning forward, shoulders hunched, with joint pain and inflexibility. Dr. Loretta was straight forward and knew exactly what to do to address my issues. Additionally, she was thorough enough to explain why they existed and what organ systems were being effected. She gave me a real endpoint timeframe of about 8 treatments. Following the first treatment, I began to sleep DEEP! I woke up refreshed, less inflamed and with Laser like focus and clarity. I stood up straighter and began to walk with confidence. Dr Loretta is not just an educated, but she has a real gift to know how to restore the body to balance.

Fantastic experience: Dr Loretta Friedman is the best of the best. I went to other doctors for my chronic back to treat my 6 herniated discs and neck pain, other doctors wanted to do surgery I was very nervous with that especially near my spine, I would have a chiropractor “crack” my neck and I would feel better for a few days and then back to the same agonizing pain. I found Dr Loretta and I explained my symptoms after a few treatments I can sleep better, I walk better and my back is totally different. I’m even better than I was before my chronic back pain began. Thanks Doctor Loretta for all your help.

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend Dr. Friedman’s treatments, from lymphatic drainage to detoxification to re-alignment! Out of nowhere my breasts were hurting me and tender to touch. I’m post menopause and they shouldn’t be feeling the way they did - after a few lymphatic drainage treatments, my breasts came back to normal sensation and no more tenderness - amazing! Non- cracking, non-smashing chiropractic treatments on my back and legs make me limber and pain free after but would need a series of these treatments for optimal relief. One has to try her technique to understand exactly what I have talked about.

I highly commend on her ability and professionalism in helping her patients. Thank you, Dr. Loreta Friedman for changing and improving my life's health status for the better.

Fantastic experience: I can't even begin to explain how her technique works, but if you are proactive in your pain or injury management you need to her. Dr. Friedman's extensive knowledge of the body and its systems, how interconnected they are is pivotal in setting your issue right.

Eileen Birns 9 years ago

Fantastic experience: Dr.Friedman is the penultimate professional. She is extremely knowledgeable about chiropractic, nutritional and medical situations. During an episode with vertigo, I could not walk or lay down and Dr. Friedman cured me with one non directional force treatment. She is quite the miracle worker and continues to help me. Highly Highly recommended.

christopher cosentino 9 years ago

Fantastic experience: Dr. Loretta Friedman is truly great at what she does!! She spends the time to listen and diagnose the problem, and creates a plan to remedy it. Her passion and dedication to providing the best treatment possible is unmatched by anyone else. I highly recommend coming here if you are suffering from acute or chronic pain.

Holland Utley 9 years ago

Positive experience: My thigh had been bothering me from sitting at the computer too long, days on end. I developed pain and a knot, I didn't know if I was having circulation problems or fluid buildup or what, but some kind of stagnation was going on in there! In one lymph treatment I felt the difference. The dr said I would be tired afterwards, which I brushed off, but I knocked out when I got home, a restful 1 1/2 hour nap. I think my body needed that time to heal even more.
