Meet Joel Friedlander, DO

I believe in providing care for children and their families in an informative and collaborative method. I strive to bring a healing sense of humor and fun to the practice of pediatric gastroenterology.

"I like to have a good time, I like to joke around, and I want to make sure you understand everything about your condition by the time that you leave."

- Dr. Joel Friedlander

Get to know his background

Clinical interests

I take a special interest in helping individuals with inflammatory bowel disease, reflux, esophagitis, aerodigestive disorders, failure to thrive, and children that need endoscopic procedures performed. My work in bioethics tries to improve the interaction and dialogue between doctors and their families so that the alliance between them is stronger.
