I saw Dr Freedman twice and the second time I was hoping to give a second chance. I will not be returning. After hearing her belittle employees in front of patients, scolding them and pulling them away from their job to reprimand them, I was made to feel very uncomfortable. This was even before meeting her. Then during my visit Dr Freedman told me that she would not be discussing any "holistic" approaches with me because my insurance didnt cover it. I was there for a routine physical but wanted to discuss reoccurring yeast infections. So I got my five minute physical and she was out the door. By the time I left my second visit I felt like her practice is a place for her to get rich at all costs. She tried to "offer" me the service of purchasing my vitamins for me and have them sent to me…wonder how much she makes off doing that for all her customers…she also offered me a $10 convenience fee for having blood drawn in her office and this was after I had to put my credit card on file incase they ever need to charge me after I leave for something. I was called in for a second visit because she explained my blood work needed explaining, that cost me a copay for her 3 minutes of time that could have been done over the phone. I overheard her belittle an elderly male patient in the next room. I will not be returning and will spread the word on how she treats her interns from philly that take a bus in to work for her. One of her intern nurses, after questioned by me, explained that they have all gotten used to her behavior and repeated scoldings. Not me, I will not be back

I came to Dr. Freedman looking for answers on why, over the course of about 6 months, I was feeling bloated and gaining weight. I thought maybe it may be my hormones out of whack. But the problem was mainly above my navel, My pants fit fine, but my shirts and sweaters were tight. Dr. Freedman listened to my problems and explained to me that it may be a food sensitivity issue. I had blood work done, (that day in her office!) and had the results back within 2 weeks. Dr. Freedman took the time to review my results and explain to me how the diet works. It was nice of her to tell me to call her anytime if I had any questions. I then started the 4-day Rotation Diet based on my individual results. It took about 3-4 days for me to understand how to eat the foods I was permitted to eat. It was actually all the foods I normally ate, just eating them in a different way; rotating them so I wasnt eating the same food every day. My results were immediate. I couldnt believe how better I felt. I lost 4 pounds within 4 days and the bloating had reduced tremendously. I have been on the program for 4 months now and my stomach is flat. I would definitely recommend Dr. Freedman to anyone looking for answers regarding your hormone levels, bloating, weight gain and overall well being. She is compassionate about her job and wants the best outcomes for her patients!

Im a seasoned Personal Trainer and Nutritional Counselor with an OUTSTANDING track record for transforming my clients lives. I have an uncommon ability to reach in and relate to most people because Im also a recovering compulsive overeater and began my journey to my present capacity by transforming my own life: at the age of 35 I lost about 100 lbs and brought my own WILD cases of Hypoglycemia and IBS under control simply through diet and exercise. For almost 20 years now Ive experienced exemplary health...UNTIL MENOPAUSE!!! Oh I sailed right through the perimenopausal years without a hitch but by post-menopausal year two, I THOUGHT I WAS LOSING MY MIND!!! By the time I found Dr Freedman I hadnt slept in about a year, my hot flashes were out of control, I was depressed, losing muscle tone, and quickly losing my ability to function both personally and professionally. Dr Freedman suggested we test all my neurotransmitter levels...not only was every one of my symptoms suddenly perfectly explainable, but with the help of just two vitamin supplements every one of my symptoms simply VANISHED within a couple of weeks. Now Im not just Im back to my old self again, Im actually feeling and looking better than I have in years...THANK YOU DR LISA!!!

Ive been seeing Dr Freedman for little over a year and its been a great experience! I had post partum depression that has lasted for years, gained weight, and was trying to fight the growing fatique and stress in my life. Dr. Freedman welcomed me, listened to me, and recommended we begin with several scientific analyses to highlight specific deficiencies. I had the food sensensitivity analysis, hormones analysis, and vitamin analysis. Boy! Did I get a real sense of what my body was lacking. It was great to have Dr. Freedman interpret the results and help me to prioritize my first, second, third steps. I just could not have done so on my own - and I have a pharmaceutical background! Here we are months later and I feel great - energy has doubled, body is getting toned, and attitude is back to being light and joyful. Im so grateful for Dr. Freedman - my 13 year old daughter has also started with her practice and is enjoying learning about her body at an early age. Highly recommended! Beautiful office recently renovated, great staff knowledgeable of the insurance racket, open to giving discounts where needed, and they are all about helping you to achieve your personal goals.

When I walked into Dr. Freedmans office last fall, I felt terrible. I was tired all the time, irritable, and yelling at my kids all the time. I just did not feel like myself. Even though I was only 45, one of my former doctors was ready to prescribe hormone replacement therapy to solve my issues. That’s what led me to Dr. Freedman. I went in initially because I was interested in bio-identical hormones and could not get them from my current doctors. I went to her Villanova office which I think bears some description because it doesnt look like your typical doctor’s office. The office is on the bottom floor of her home but please do not mistake that for a lack of professionalism. Over the past eight months I have seen Dr. Freedman roughly once per month, and we have transformed my life. I say “we” because it really does feel like we are in this together. I have lost 25 pounds, I look and feel great, and Im a much nicer person to be around (no hormones necessary)! Dr. Freedman and her staff are capable, responsive, and they care. Im so glad that there are medical professionals out there like her, unfortunately they are few and far between these days.

It doesnt seem to me that Dr. Freedman is at all interested in helping people or taking new patients. I called her because she was on the IBX website as taking my insurance. I sent two emails with no response and a phone call which she finally did return. She was short and quite tart. She told me "could not afford to take health insurance or work for $5 and most doctors are the same." I asked her why the IBX website would have her listed and she said "because they never update their site, thats why". She made me feel like a bother and she talked down to me. I understand our health insurance system is a mess! Believe me I do, but to talk to someone without any compassion what-so-ever, is just hurtful. I asked her what she charged, expecting some sort of a compassionate explanation and all she just barked at me, "I charge one hundred and twenty five dollars a visit". Again, my faith in doctors has been stomped on. She was cruel and hurtful to someone desperately looking for help.
