Dr. Freedman is the best psychiatrist/psycho-pharmacologist in the country. He is professional, caring, and effective. Sessions are thorough and often include some cognitive therapy to supplement the medications. He doesn’t change medications too rapidly as many psychiatrists do. Some popular meds can take weeks to reach their full effect in the body so it is important not to change them every other day without giving them a chance to work(a common, dangerous practice in the field). Dr. Freedman is cautious with his prescriptions but not at any cost to his patient. He always makes sure I am educated about what I am taking. He is thorough, easy to open up to, and just really goes above and beyond to help. The office is right by UCLA and his secretary, Alexandra, is always a pleasure. Highly recommended
