Bruce F Friedman, MD

I am currently a patient of Dr. Friedman’s, I came to him for my allergies, I kept getting hives and sinus congestion which resulted in sinus infections, I had several appointments for allergy testing and to check my breathing, I found out things that I thought were just in my head. I am currently doing the immunotherapy treatment and already feel so much better, Dr. Friedman is very thorough and cares a lot about his patients. His office staff is also very helpful, when I need a prescription or even just have a question for the doctor, I the response time is fast. definitely recommend if you have allergies to see dr. friedman. you wont be disappointed.

Do yourself a favor and don’t even bother going there! The worst care I’ve ever received.
So I had been having a respiratory problem for a couple of months and wanted to get checked what was going on with me. After Unilocaling, I decided to go see Dr. Friedman but was completely disappointed after 6 appointments. They seemed just so greedy and don’t care about their patients.
Let me tell you what happened. So I went in there, told my problems during my first appointment and Dr. Friedman was super enthusiastic about having me tested for a bunch of stuff. I thought he was very thorough but apparently, not! He asked me to make test appointments with his assistant and that was the end of my first appointment. I was told that I have to make 4 more appointments because there would be 4 different tests. The test takes about 20 mins and nurse is present for 5 mins. Tests clearly could be done during 2 visits and Dr. Friedman could read the results after the second test. NO, of course he decided not to see the patient right after the test because they could charge you a co-​pay every time you come in. So after a month of back and forth testing, I was able to make another appointment with Dr. Friedman who was supposed to read the test results. (Note that it was my 6^th appointment with the clinic and 2^nd with Dr.Friedman. I was still experiencing problems without any medication.) So finally I saw him hoping to hear about my issues but he told me I was allergic to environmental things (trees, dust) and there isn’t anything he can do. He explained how allergy shots can help my allergy (fyi, it has to be done for 3 years!!!) and they do the shot at their clinic. Obviously, you need to pay every time you come in for shots! I asked about allergy medicine and he literally said, you can try out allergy medicines available out there and see what works the best for you. He handed me Allergy self-​help guide (you can find it at
) and told me to read it. He never read to me how other test results came back, instead mentioned general environmental stuff that he can’t fix lol.
After 6 appointments, wasting my time and money, I was told to read a guide that’s already available on the internet and find the medicine that works on my own! After being about 30 mins in his room, his assistant came in and told the next patient was waiting. He walked me out and that was it! I felt like he doesn’t care about his patients and provides general allergy information to everyone (nothing customized).

This wonderful doctor gave me my life back.
Office is well run and appointments are timely. Dr Friedman is a teriffic diagnostician and after testing for allergies and recieving appropriate medication I have been completely allergy symptom free and not a cold or flu for over a year now.
Highly reccommended

I called to have an appointment for my son, in 2 weeks, the receptionist who can not even pronounce immunologist did not give me an appointment since my son’s insurance is not ready till November 15! I said I will pay cash at the day of our visit, she said no if you need an appointment you have to pay me now before I give you an appointment! Wow money hungry business man or doctor?

Amazing doctor!!! Very knowledgable and easy to talk to! He is thorough and takes his time listening and then explaining his findings/​test results! I was very skeptical taking my 14 month old to a broad spectrum allergist, if I was going to subject him to painful testing I only wanted to do it once and I wanted conclusive results, however dr Friedman was the only allergist in my network that was less than 3 hours away. Even though he isn’t strictly a pediatric allergist he was amazing with my little guy! We were seen at his office for a 45 min consultation to get my sons medical history and my concerns, then two dats of testing, then another 1 hour meeting going over the results and my questions.
There was always parking readily available.
The office staff was friendly and helpful.
The wait time was less than 10 min every visit.
I will recommend dr Friedman to all I know! Food allergies and environmental allergies, he us the doctor for the job!

My insurance has coverage for me to see an allergist and so I searched for a doctor around Irvine and Dr. Friedman showed up on my search. Getting into the office, finishing the initial paperwork and waiting totaled about 30 minutes. When I got in to meet the doctor, he was warm and hospitable. I found the consultation to be really thorough and he was genuinely a nice person. Allergy testing was very helpful and he’s very informative.

I went to Dr. Friedman for 6 years for treatment of allergies. I went through allergy testing and allergy shots with him. He helped me a lot. He is very thorough, detail oriented and warm. He is a nice guy. He helped me a lot.
I highly recommend him.

Dr. Friedman talks A LOT. Don’t get me wrong, he’s very knowledgeable and he prescribed me some good stuff for my seasonal allergies. And he definitely spends a lot of time with you. But the whole time I felt like I was getting a sales pitch to come back for further testing to narrow down what was causing my allergies. In fact, they wanted me to book appointment right then and there.
What I do like about his office is that I turned down a prescription for abuterol while I was at his office. Months later when I felt like I needed it, my pharmacy called his office and they OK’d a prescription for it over the phone so I didn’t have to go in for an appointment. That was super convenient.
