"Philosophy of care | I sincerely value getting to know my patients and building a relationship based on mutual respect and trust.

I consider all aspects of your health and provide you and your family the best care possible. | Why I entered medicine | I was always interested in the human body and how it worked. I am extroverted and enjoy interacting with people and helping others, thus a call to practice medicine came naturally. I chose family medicine because I really enjoy taking care of entire families; seeing children, parents and grandparents. I love the variety of doing well visits, diabetes and hypertension management, mental health care, and procedures such as joint injections and IUDs – often all in one day! | Community involvement | I am new to both the Lehigh Valley and Pennsylvania, so I look forward to getting involved in the community here. Most of my previous community involvement was through church and ministry related activities. I am looking forward to learning about opportunities in the area and getting my spouse and three children involved as well. | Personal interests | I enjoy family time, cooking, reading, hiking, wine-tasting and horseback riding.".

Philosophy of care | I’m a primary care physician, so I treat the patient as a whole and address all needs, whether physical, mental or social. Specialists such as cardiologists may specifically treat the heart, or pulmonologists may treat the lungs. Primary care physicians treat the whole body from top to bottom. We identify the nature of the problem and address it or, if called for, are able to refer a patient for more specialized care. I enjoy what I do because I like to help patients and prevent diseases before they start. | Why I entered medicine | I wanted to help people and I like to interact face-to-face, so I always had a passion for medicine. It’s rewarding to help someone directly with my skills, mind and know-how, so to speak. And I like the long-term relationships that come with primary care. I treat people from ages 16 to 90 or even 100, and I get to know their families and kids. It’s very rewarding to take care of entire families. | Community involvement | I sing in a church choir and am involved in church life. I like to sing and enjoy music in general. | Personal interests | I enjoy skiing in winter and playing soccer in summer. I belong to a recreational soccer league of people above 40.

Each patient's recovery to their fullest potential is my ultimate goal. | Why I entered medicine | For as long as I can remember, I wanted to become a doctor.

Philosophy of care | I provide patients the same care I would for my own family and never lose sight of their humanity – no matter how busy or stressful the clinical situation may be. | Why I entered medicine | Medicine appealed to me because I thoroughly enjoyed the scientific method and wanted a deeper understanding of the human body, to understand how/why pathology occurs and, most importantly, to make a meaningful difference in the lives of others. Helping patients improve their quality of life gives my work/career meaning.

Philosophy of care | I have been caring for patients over 25 years. The central theme of my care is treating you (and every patient) with the utmost respect. We will make decisions together and I will treat you as if you are a member of my own family. I will use my expertise to explain all the particulars of your diagnosis and treatment options so that you can best make informed decisions for yourself. | Why I entered medicine | I decided to pursue a career in medicine at age 13 when my 11-year-old brother was hospitalized with a severe spinal infection. I never waivered in that decision, and found as I went through the process that I thoroughly enjoy helping others, finding ways to solve their problems and being their advocate through medical issues. I enthusiastically enjoy every day doing this type of work. | Community involvement | Since I came to this area in 1995, I have dedicated a substantial portion of my time to the community. I have served leadership roles at the local hospitals for 23 of those 25 years, have always treated everyone regardless of ability to pay, taken care of athletes for many hours on the fields and contributed to numerous local charities. I was honored to be inducted into the Warren County (N.J.) Hall of Fame for my community service. | Personal interests | My main interests are my children.

Dr. Friedman is rated as an Experienced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Sciatica. His top areas of expertise are Osteoarthritis, Tendinitis, Bursitis, Tenosynovitis, and Hip Replacement.

Philosophy of care | I think it’s fundamentally important that a solid relationship based on trust be created between myself and patients.  This is accomplished by working in a partnership with the patient to accomplish mutually defined health goals, by treating illnesses and diseases using strategies based on the best evidence, and by ensuring excellent bi-directional communication between myself and patients. | Why I entered medicine | After experiencing numerous injuries and illnesses while growing up, I became deeply familiar with the health care system from the perspective of the patient.  While this generated interest in the role physicians play from direct experience, it also created the desire to give back to others by helping to prevent illnesses and injuries, as well as to manage diseases that arise. | Community involvement | I have had ongoing sponsorship for disadvantaged kids who have suffered burn injuries to enable them to attend a special summer camp through the University of Michigan Burn Center. | Personal interests | I work to maintain my own well-being by spending time with my 20-year-love, Susan, my wonderful 4 kids, extended family and friends (as well as my huge dog, Bo, and multiple other furry and feathered friends).  Together we enjoy family movie nights, ice cream runs (not | every | night!), sporting events, and trips into NYC.  I might periodically also be spotted pounding the pavement on a run or getting muddy on a mountain bike.

Philosophy of care | I believe a physician should be compassionate, dedicated and work well on a team. I encourage my patients to be an active participant in their health care. | Why I entered medicine | My mother was diagnosed with aplastic anemia when I was 8 years old.

Philosophy of care | My philosophy of care is to treat you in a respectful and holistic manner, while providing education to help you navigate your own health. | Why I entered medicine | Although I knew I wanted to be a doctor from a young age, I truly fell in love with medicine when I saw the positive impact my family's doctors had on their lives, and the lives of their loved ones. Whether in the hospital or in the office, their warmth and compassion was a comfort and reassurance during tumultuous times. In those moments, I knew that I wanted to help people in the same way. In my practice, I strive to be as caring and compassionate as the men and women that have inspired me, in order to ultimately provide the best care for my patients. | Community involvement | During the length of my medical training (from medical school to fellowship), I have been active in the community by providing medical coverage for local running events, high school and college sporting events, and performing sports pre-participation physicals. | Personal interests | My personal interests include exercising, participating in local running and obstacle course races, being outside and active with my family, and trying to keep up with our young daughter!.

Philosophy of care | I was raised to treat others as I would like to be treated, and I try to bring that philosophy to every patient encounter. To do this, one must always have respect for the patient and be an outstanding listener. | Why I entered medicine | I have always had a passion for the biological sciences and I knew I wanted a career in that field -- specifically, research. But after working as a laboratory technician during college, I realized I missed human interaction. I was more interested in getting to know my co-workers than my test tubes. This was when I realized I could incorporate my love for science and people into becoming a physician. | Community involvement | During my family medicine residency, I volunteered annually at the first aid station of the American Cancer Society Relay for Life in Saucon Valley, Pa. | Personal interests | Above all, I enjoy spending time with my family.

Philosophy of care | I believe in focusing on prevention including health screenings, nutrition, and physical activity.

I enjoy seeing patients of all ages (from babies to seniors) and do several office-based procedures including skin biopsies, joint injections and Pap smears. I take care of a diverse population and believe that all patients deserve access to high quality healthcare, irrespective of their gender, race, ethnicity, religion, immigration status, gender identity or sexual orientation. | Why I entered medicine | I grew up with an older brother who was diagnosed with heart disease when he was 4, and I was inspired at an early age by his doctors’ care and compassion. I went into medicine to provide this same level of patient-centered care to others and strive to treat all of my patients as if they were family. Outside of my clinical practice, I am faculty in the Department of Family Medicine at LVHN and do research and teach medical students and residents. I am a better physician for all that I continue to learn through these activities and find great joy in both teaching the next generation of physicians and in conducting research aimed at identifying ways to improve health care. | Community involvement | I first lived in the Lehigh Valley during my college years at Lehigh University and was very excited to return to this vibrant community after completing medical school and residency. I’m an active member in the Central Moravian Church in Bethlehem and have served as a Sunday School teacher for the middle school class for the last few years. I also serve on the Health Advisory Committee at Bradbury Sullivan LGBT Community Center. | Personal interests | I enjoy running and can often be found outside in the early hours of the day, wearing a head lamp and covered in reflectors.
