I just found out tonight that Dr. Friedman had moved on. I was taken by complete surprise. I was a patient of Dr. Friedman from 2010 until I moved to FL in December of 2013. He was a very caring man, a superb doctor and a beautiful soul. I was experiencing heart palpitations that really scared me, so much so they caused anxiety and panic disorder. He went far beyond in doing everything he could to care for me, comfort me and reassure me. I remember to this day, and repeat it as a personal mantra whenever I have these palpitiations, the words he told me after having my last stress test with him before I moved; he told me that my heart was as strong as the rock of Gibraltar. I missed him when I moved and now that feeling is multiplied. I know a man of his kindness and love was an angel on Earth and now he is a blessing in heaven. Dr. friedman, I'm truly grateful for all you had done for me and continue to do for me. Thank you so very much. I love you and may all who were close to you know the peace and comfort you so eagerly and unselfishly shared with me. Christopher Sanez.

I am very sorry to hear of this loss. He was a great man and I will miss him and also miss seeing Winston. I was Winston's dog trainer, and I loved working with both of them. My sincere sympathy to his family and friends.

I will miss you, my dedicated friend.
Would that I could have given you life past 80 years as you have clearly done for me.
Beyond brilliant cardiology you administered brilliant humanitarianism to us all.

We just found out about Dr. Friedman's passing.  We are in shock and extremely sad.  My mother in law was a patient of Dr. Friedman and loved him dearly! He was such a kind, caring man. We appreciated Dr. Friedman very much! RIP

I WAS ABOUT TO DROP MY INSURANCE AND TOLD THE GREAT DR FRIEDMAN I WOULD NOT SEE HIM ANYMORE. HE SAID COME BACK AND DO NOT WORRY ABOUT THE MONEY. WHAT A GREAT, KIND AND CARING PERSON. I KNOW GOD HAS A SPECIAL PLACE IN HEAVEN. ALL MY FAMILY WILL MISS YOU. UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN ON THAT HEAVENLY SHORE. RUBIN OF CLAYTON

He was the best Dr and friend ,,will miss him so much...

I just found out of Dr. Friedmans passing, he was the best. I will miss him terribly I am so sad today and my heart is broken.

It was such a shock to hear the news. He was a great doctor. For eight years I was his patient. I always felt very confident in his care. He was very thorough, focused and had a lot of compassion for his patients.  I will miss him greatly. My sympathy and prayers go out to his family and office staff.

This man was not just a great doctor, friend, mentor, student of life, dad, advisor, employer. He was simply the best! To many of us he was the best doctor, to a lucky few of us he was our best friend! He tried every day to do the very best he could for everyone he came in contact with. He was a tireless person, and now he can rest and let God take care of him. But, I know he will still be working hard to take care of all of us from above!

I love you buddy!!

We will miss him greatly! My Mom was patient of Dr. Friedman's for eight years. He took such wonderful care of her and always made her feel so important. My Mom and I will be forever grateful and will remember him for his caring and compassionate ways. Our sympathy and prayers go out to his family and to Winston.

I am in shock! I just heard about this. He was a great Dr. and I enjoyed going to him. He was so compassionate and took up so much time and really helped me a great deal. He will be greatly missed.

He was a very good doctor I will miss him very much.  My heart goes out to his family and Winston.

Without Dr. Friedman i would  not be alive today. He was a wonderful dr and an even better person. When I needed him he was there with the most compassionate care. I trusted him completely and I am grateful that i was able to have him as my dr for over 12 years. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and his staff. You will be greatly missed.

He was one of the best clinical doctors, with the most excellent bedside caring manner.  He is a one of a kind.   Society lost a great and caring doctor, I lost my best friend in life from childhood to the day he died.   He was my brother, always there, and with a sense of humor like no other.   He is looking down on us now.   Please keep him in your prayers, and share his compassion and caring with others you meet.

My Mother loved you Dr. Friedman, as did many, many others that entrusted their care to you.  Their trust was well-founded, as your trust in God and a life well lived, will assure you a place in Heaven as one of His healing Angels.  Thank you for always being so kind and helpful to my Mother, Margaret Johnson.  God Bless and may your family find comfort in knowing you are with the Lord in Heaven.

So sorry to hear about Kenneth. Rely on Almighty God because he is near to those that are broken at heart and will provide you with the strength to continue on.

This news came as a shock. Doc was a great man as well as an amazing doctor.  I worked for him as his nurse for 2 years and I have never seen a doctor with such compassion.  My condolences go out to Amanda and Marissa. He will definitely be missed.

My Mom Joyce Benton Muccio was a good friend of Dr Friedman. She spoke very well of him and treated him like a son.

I am a retired nurse and was fortunate to have Dr. Friedman as my cardiologist.  He loved helping people and it was very evident in his bedside manner and his love for people was in that radiant smile of his.  I will miss him very much and I know I will never find another cardiologist with his genuine compassion.  I am thankful for his care and may I extend my sincere condolence to his family.  RIP Dr. Friedman, I will never forget you.

My father was a patient of dr freedman and my mother was also before she died in 2010. He always made time for both of them. God bless you dr Friedman, you touch many many lives. J Shelly RN

So sorry to hear of your loss and I know his nurses and coworkers will miss him also. My mother in law love this man so much, whatever he said she would do, she is in heaven now also. My brother also was his patient, he is so sorry for your loss. I had been with my family there a lot, what can you say about a man that made his patients and their family's feel so comfortable. He would even take time to talk to you on the phone if you were worry about someone in your family, his patient. He will be miss by his family so much and also his patients. Will be missed so much.

I did not know Ken personally but he befriended my son and daughter in law, they simply loved him, said he was a wonderful friend.
RIP Dr Friedman

To his family, It will be hard to replace such a kind and caring Doctor. My Prayers are with you all.

You will be missed beyond what words can express.  Thank you for your friendship and the excellent care and time you always gave my mother.  Lucky heaven!!  Sad Me.

Dr. Friedman was not only my mother's Dr.;he was her friend.  He always made her feel as though she was his only patient and her health was his only concern. Not only did she love him, we, her children did, also.  Words cannot express how heavy our hearts are and how much we will miss Dr. Friedman.  We also came to love Winston, as we saw him each visit my mother had with Dr. Friedman in his Clayton office.  I know he is a sad dog today and we hurt for him, too.
