Overview
Philosophy of care | I believe all children deserve the best care available given by trained, compassionate physicians. The patient's entire family is part of the treatment team, and their participation is essential in successful delivery of the best medicine. | Why I entered medicine | My mother was diagnosed with Stage 4 lung cancer when I was in high school and passed when I was in college. Enduring her journey through the treatment process gave me the insight and desire to enter medicine with an eye toward comprehensive, compassionate care. | Community involvement | I have been involved in caring for pediatric cancer patients at a summer camp in Gretna Glen, Lebanon County, both as a counselor and as camp physician. | Personal interests | My hobbies include reading, enjoying podcasts on my commute to and from work, and spending time with my beautiful family.

Philosophy of care | In my area we’re dealing with people who are frightened. I’m trying to help patients deal with all of the information they’ve been hearing, and I’m trying to dispel all of the myths. It’s a matter of education and mutual trust. I’m there to do whatever I can do for them, even if it’s just a matter of easing their pain. | Also, I am a member of the thoracic cancer multidisciplinary consultation team. Together we review your diagnostic information and give you a written opinion reflecting the scope of your condition and recommendations for your best course of care. | Why I entered medicine | Medicine was not my first choice. I wanted to be first oboe in the New York Philharmonic. I have a love of biochemistry and science, and I like people. One day, I just decided I wanted to be a doctor. I wouldn’t change it for anything in the world. | Community involvement | I’m part of the National Cancer Institute’s community cancer program. Our goal is to be able to give the same care and treatment to everyone, whether they have health insurance or not. | Personal interests | I still play the oboe and will always have a love of music. I’m an avid cyclist, and I enjoy skiing. Dr. Friedman is highly rated in 30 conditions, according to our data.
