Melanie H. Friedlander, MD

I'm so grateful to Dr.Friedlander and her expertise. She performed two surgeries for me earlier this year at Torrance Memorial Hospital and I couldn't have imagined better results. Thank you so much for all that you do, Dr!

I first met Dr. Friedlander when I needed a lumpectomy in my late '30s. Everyone I spoke to in the area told me she was the best. I had a minimal scar that was basically undetectable 7 years later. I met her again when I decided to do a double prophylactic mastectomy. In fact, she helped me decide. I hadn't cried with anyone but when I was in her office the tears came out because of the safety she created. She validated that my response was not irrational and I'm now post mastectomy and so thankful for her gifted hands. My plastic surgeon says she's the best oncology surgeon to work with. What else do you need to know?

Dr. Friedlander is the best GI SURGEON! Very personal, caring, efficient and all around special Doctor. She knows her profession and puts 100% in all she does. I am recovering at home now but I feel confident and secure just knowing she is just a phone call away if I need her or professional medical advise. Thank you for going with me through this chapter of my life. I’m so looking forward to a great recovery!😊

Dr Friedlander was Exceptional. She was accommodating, Kind, Caring and very Competent. She is one of those doctors that practices Medicine passionately. She got me in for an ultrasound the same day as my apt, last minute, with a fast turn around. I went to see her for a second opinion. She is up to date on new studies and information. Her staff is also Exceptional. Marianne was amazing at follow up and communication.

Dr Friedlander is a consummate professional & skilled surgeon who came highly recommended by trusted friends who’s family members had been treated by her. She took her time with us, explaining the upcoming procedure in an easy way for a lay person to follow. We never felt rushed & knew we were in good hands. Her staff is efficient & kind.
