About Eric I. Friedman
Eric Friedman, M.D., always enjoyed the science of medicine and its ever changing landscape, which led him to become a medical provider. "I chose surgery because of the immediate impact you can make in helping people," he says. In his practice, Dr. Friedman emphasizes individual treatment plans that take into account all relevant personal and social factors, not just the medical issue. "This allows me to 'customize' the care to fit the patients' particular needs," he said. "Communication is essential to good patient care," says Dr. Friedman. In his eyes, good patient care is compassionate, patient-oriented and personal. "I want to make sure patients understand their treatment plan, the rationale for it, and what the alternatives are. I also discuss the recovery period and what to expect, to make sure the patients' needs are met." In addition, Dr. Friedman's philosophy of care includes compassionate, patient oriented and personal cancer care to patients.
After earning his medical degree from the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, Dr. Friedman completed his internship, residency and fellowship training at Oregon Health & Science University. He is board certified in general surgery and focuses on breast cancer, skin cancer and colon cancer.
Dr. Friedman was born and raised in Philadelphia. He has two grown sons he is very proud of - one in graduate school at the Mayo Clinic studying cancer immunology and the other teaching English in rural Japan. In his free time, he enjoys hiking and traveling.

This was the first time I've had an appointment with him. He had looked through my chart before he came in. Explanations were easy to follow. I had a concern about having the procedure done because I have a different Issue going on and he listened and then said that he agreed with me that It was more Important to get the first Issue handled and then have the procedure done. He listened well, was easy to talk to, and understood the first Issue that I have well enough to know which order I should take care of things In.
