Morton Wallace Friedman M.D.

I traveled to Oz with Dr. Friedman! He had a fine collection of modern first editions when he bought the Dougherty Oz collection from the renowned bookseller,Peter Howard, of Serendipity Books in Berkeley. I had the privilege of cataloguing and appraising the 700 rare books in his home, later donated to the University of San Francisco as the M. Wallace Friedman Collection of Oz and Oziana. He had vision to keeping this valuable collection intact.

I had the privilege to work with Dr. Friedman for 8 years from 1989 to 1997 as a surgical technician at MT. Zion hospital in San Francisco. What a unique man, a giant in ophthalmology and a perfectionist with a very strong character yet a sweet and gentle smile. I was a young man at that time but Dr. Friedman always treated me with kindness and a gentle heart. I truly enjoyed his mentoring and I will forever be grateful. R.I.P amigo

Wally exceptional fund of knowledge and his clinical skills and acumen distinguished him. He had a...

I had the privilege of knowing Wally Friedman when I was a young staff member in the '70s at CPMC's Eye Department. Wally was so full of energy with a great smile and an upbeat personality. I haven't seen him much since I left the Bay Area in 1980. I extend my heartfelt sympathies to all his other friends and family.
