About Me
Dr. Douglas Friedman is a board-certified cardiologist with clinical interests in evaluating and treating chest pain, arrhythmias, heart failure, valvular and vascular disease. He is particularly focused on the imaging component of the evaluation, which is critical when determining the best therapy. Dr. Friedman earned his medical degree from the University of Virginia School of Medicine in Charlottesville, Virginia, and completed an internal medicine residency at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. Dr. Friedman completed his cardiovascular disease fellowship at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York, New York. He joins WakeMed most recently from Winston Salem, where he practiced as a non-invasive cardiologist.
Dr. Friedman approaches each patient as an individual with a unique set of beliefs and values. His goal is to have each patient understand their condition as well as the rationale for different testing and therapies. Together, Dr. Friedman works with his patients to determine the best plan of care.
Outside of the office, Dr. Friedman enjoys spending time with his wife and three children. He likes watching and playing sports, particularly tennis. When possible, he escapes to the beach or the mountains for some quality outdoor time.
