Overview of patient comments

Summary created using AI

Patients appreciate

Dr. Paul Freudigman Jr. receives overwhelmingly positive feedback from patients, with the vast majority of reviews awarding five stars. Patients consistently praise his surgical skill and successful outcomes, particularly for hip, knee, and ankle replacements, as well as complex fracture repairs. Many reviewers highlight his strong communication style, noting that he explains procedures, diagnoses, and recovery expectations in clear, understandable terms and takes time to answer questions thoroughly. His bedside manner is frequently described as kind, compassionate, friendly, and even personable with a good sense of humor. Patients also consistently commend his supporting staff and office team for being professional, welcoming, and efficient, with many noting minimal wait times and smooth scheduling. Several long-term patients mention having trusted him for multiple surgeries over many years, underscoring strong patient loyalty and confidence in his care.

Patients also share

A small number of reviews point to areas for improvement, primarily centered on communication and depth of interaction during visits. One review (1.9 stars) felt that his bedside manner needed improvement and that he did not sufficiently explain the process from start to finish, leaving the patient to guess what questions to ask. Another review (3.67 stars) described visits as brief, with the doctor offering minimal detail beyond confirming that things "look good." A couple of other reviews (4.03 and 4.17 stars) mentioned that a treatment recommendation felt "extreme" or that visits were very short, though still generally positive. One review (4.87 stars) also noted limited personal interaction across the surgical and follow-up process. These comments represent a small minority compared to the broader feedback.
