The folks at Evolve are great. They listen to my concerns, and come up with a plan. Then they make sure I understand the plan and work with me till I'm onboard. In addition, they are great at fitting me in short term when that becomes necessary. As a bonus, it's a great facilty with friendly staff all around. Thanks!

Great staff, easy to make appointments, and beautiful office. Also easy to request prescriptions and talk to doctor or nurse. Recommend for sure!

Derek L.★★★★★2026-08-20

I love this place. Very convenient, efficient, and the staff and healthcare providers take the time to make sure all your questions are answered. Everyone is friendly and it is a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere. You are at the doctor’s office but you don’t feel like you’re at a doctor’s office. I highly recommend.

I was referred to this practice from a respected acupuncturist in Annapolis. He knew Dr. Freidman and highly recommended him. I was in need of a physician but has just lost insurance so I could not go back to my previous Primary care. I walked in without an appointment and was treated as if I were already a member. The lobby is like no other medical office I've ever been to. There is art work on the walls and a calming feeling, including water falls in the exam rooms. I was seen by a Nurse Practitioner named Lyndsey Owens and she took care of everything. I am extremely happy with everyone at the practice. The front desk staff are amazing, calling me about matters instead of me having to call and listen to a robot give me options. There are multiple paths for communications, a private portal and messaging system. I am happy to pay a monthly fee to be a member here! I feel welcomed and accepted every time I have visited.
