Jeffrey Friedman, MD, FACS

My priority as the director of bariatric surgery and assistant professor in the University of Florida Department of Surgery is to provide quality results and patient satisfaction. I aim to treat my patients like my own family members. Bariatric surgery allows me to give patients a chance to live a healthier and longer life, which is initially what led me to surgery. My research interests include the metabolic and cognitive effects of bariatric surgery, resolution of comorbidities following bariatric surgery and long-term effects of bariatric surgery. My training began at the University of Mississippi, where I earned my medical degree.
