About Dr. Douglas Friedrich
If you need to cancel your appointment within 24 hours of the scheduled time, please call the office.
Bedside manner was not taught in medical school; it was handed down by a warm, loving upbringing. I offer compassionate, comprehensive eye care-from treating a red eye to performing complicated cataract surgery-in the heart of midtown Manhattan. I also provide the latest technological advancements in bladeless LASIK surgery, as well as cosmetic solutions, both surgical and non-surgical, such as Botox and fillers. I earned my Doctor of Medicine from New York Medical College, completed Internal Medicine training at Saint Vincent Catholic Medical Center, and completed residencies in Ophthalmology at both Saint Luke's-Roosevelt Hospital Center and NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital/Columbia University Medical Center.
