Philosophy of Care
I have a passion for treating people of all ages and activity levels, from elite athletes to people who want to reduce pain during work or leisure activities. It’s important for me to spend time with each patient to understand their injury as well as their individual treatment goals. Coming up with a plan together and helping a patient to improve their quality of life is what I love most about this job.
More about Dr. Friedman
As a Colorado Native she understands the active population of Colorado and enjoys taking care of their orthopaedic needs. As a former athlete, she has sustained several sports injuries herself, so she also understands how important it is to get patients back to the life they love.
She is married to Justin, an Army Veteran and current aerospace engineer. They enjoy doing outdoor activities together including skiing, mountain biking, rock climbing, and camping. They are very happy to be back in Colorado and can’t wait to explore more of Colorado Springs.
