About Dr. Jerome Friedland
Jerome R. Friedland, M.D., completed his undergraduate studies in his native state of New York, then traveled abroad to study medicine. After medical school, he moved to California and completed his internship at Long Beach Memorial Hospital. Following a surgical residency at Nassau Community Hospital in New York, he served a three-and-a-half year orthopedic residency at the State University of New York at Stony Brook. Returning to Southern California, he became a team physician for the Los Angeles Raiders as an associate of Dr. Robert Rosenfeld.
In 1978, he traveled to Linkoping University in Sweden to study with Drs. Oretorp, Hagberg, and Gillquist who were the pioneers of knee joint arthroscopic surgery. Dr. Friedland brought these specialist instruments and techniques to Southern California, being one of the first doctors to perform this less-invasive procedure on traumatic injuries. In 1979, Dr. Friedland started his own practice in Northridge adjacent to Northridge Hospital Medical Center. In 1987, he built and opened Orthopedic Medical Center in Reseda, bringing together top professionals for the purpose of diagnosing and treating orthopedic injuries.
Dr. Friedland's special areas of expertise are arthroscopy of the knee and shoulder, joint replacement, and sports injuries of all types. He is very active in the International College of Surgeons, and has been certified by the Arthroscopy Board of North America and the American Academy of Neurological Orthopedic Surgery. He is also a member of the Los Angeles County, California, and American Medical Associations. He is a Qualified Medical Examiner (Q.M.E.), and an Agreed Medical Examiner (A.M.E.) for the State of California Industrial Medical Council, Department of Industrial Relations. He also conducts Independent Medical Examinations (I.M.E.) to resolve medical-legal disputes.

Dr. Friedland was excellent in every way. I made an appointment on Zocdoc the night before after a terrible fall. Everyone in the office was sympathetic, kind and on the ball.
November 23, 2022Margaret J.Verified patient
Staff was friendly. After I filled out my paperwork, I was brought in within 5 minutes. Including x-rays, my whole appointment took about 20 minutes. He listened to everything I said and with the help of the x-rays, we'll proceed from here. So far, extremely satisfied.
July 28, 2022Julie S.Verified patient
Very calm demeanor and great listener. I went in for some hip pain and after receiving two shots, I pointed out another area of pain and he took care of that too. I feel so much better today, Love him!!
June 21, 2022Lori D.Verified patient
I would not recommend this physician. I went to this practice to have lingering sports injuries checked out. My goal was to heal these past injuries in order to work out and be active again. After telling the doctor I have been less active due to my injuries, he suggested I completely stop any physical activity and that I was "doing too much." I made clear that these injuries are from 15+ years ago, not anything recent. He didn't seem to understand or grasp this. He offered no help and I left feeling like the whole appointment was a waste of time. Adding insult to injury, he made me sign an arbitration agreement prior to the examination. Overall very bad experience.
June 21, 2022Zach C.Verified patient
Dr Friedland was great - very in control, thoughtful about what was going on with me, and I felt pretty confident with his guidance. I'd definitely recommend seeing him.

March 4, 2021Michael V.Verified patient
A bit brusque but friendly and to the point. Immediately called for X-rays and administered a steroid shot on-site and I walked out with an NSAID script and a plan for a follow-up. I didn't expect such an immediate and comprehensive treatment plan, but I'm very satisfied I got one.

Dr. Friedland is a very professional and thorough professional. His staff is friendly and accommodating.
Compared to my last poor experiences [ USC, Drs. Wright at Marina Del Ray ] for my lower back pain he is a godsend.
I experienced instant relief and a better understanding of the various treatments now available to me.
