Joy Olivia Friedman, MD

Get to Know Me

I am grateful for the opportunity to contribute to the well-being of teens and young adults navigating the complexities of adolescence. With a focus on general adolescent medicine, my greatest interest is fostering a holistic approach to health care that factors in the emerging needs of teenagers as they become young adults. I specialize in addressing challenges related to eating disorders and sexual and reproductive health. 

Why I Treat Children

Children are authentic, resilient and kind at heart. Adolescents share these traits and are ready to push the boundaries that adults take for granted to become the agents of change for a brighter future. Supporting adolescents through this time of transformation gives me energy and hope.

What I'm Passionate About

My aim is to create a supportive and inclusive environment for adolescents to receive care as they gain independence in accessing health care. I value the trust placed in me by patients and families and recognize the importance of compassion and humility.
