My Philosophy and Approach to Wellness...

My internal medicine practice is in Newtown, Connecticut. I have been a primary care doctor for more than 20 years. As a personal physician, I realize that asking a patient, “How are you doing?” takes time to answer. I have more time to listen and discuss what matters to you. My goal is more personalized, integrated care focused on you and your individual health needs. My MDVIP-affiliated practice offers services, including comprehensive, advanced health screenings and diagnostic tests, that go far beyond those found in concierge medicine practices.

Waiting and feeling rushed are two things that I believe should not happen in a medical office. Because my practice is smaller in size, it allows for same- or next-day appointments, phone calls that are answered by a person and, most importantly, visits that are relaxed and not rushed whenever you are sick or just concerned. My patients can come in for an appointment or they can call me (even when traveling). We want to take care of you.

My MDVIP-affiliated practice offers services, including comprehensive, advanced health screenings and diagnostic tests, that go far beyond those found in traditional medicine practices. Those services are included in  the annual MDVIP Wellness Program. The lab findings and test results can help provide a clearer picture of your health, and with this information, we can work together to customize a care plan just for you. I have seen many patients become more engaged, and as a result, they have the ability to work toward being healthier. In many cases, we can even measure the improvements.

Other benefits include the opportunity to reach me, your personal physician, after hours along with care for members’ dependents (ages 18-26). We also offer 30-minute routine or sick visits.

I am excited to have more time and focused energy aimed at helping you improve your health and your life.

Testimonials from patients of Dr. Friedman

from Gary in CT March 17, 2018 for Jeffrey P. Friedman, MD

My relationship with Dr. Friedman started about 2 years ago when I attended an information sharing session on MDVIP in Southbury. His presentation that night was an amazing experience and I was HOOKED!! We worked closely together on the MDVIP structure of wellness physicals and follow-ups to improve my health. My goal was to run a sub 3 hour half marathon at age 68 and we did it in November,… See more

Jeff: On the anniversary of your first year with MDVIP Marilyn and I wanted to shoot you a quick note congratulating and thanking you for your thoughtful and compassionate health care. We both feel we're in such good hands. And I , of course, enjoy chatting about aging, eating, and life in general during our get togethers. Fine doctoring..... Tucker F.

from Alice in CT March 3, 2018 for Jeffrey P. Friedman, MD

I'm pretty new to Dr. Friedman's practice but it didn't take me long to realize how much he enjoys being a doctor. I feel so comfortable talking to him about symptoms I'm having, knowing that he'll do his best to help diagnose what's wrong and not simply take the path of least resistance. He genuinely cares and is willing to put the time and effort into helping… See more

from Michael in CT March 1, 2018 for Jeffrey P. Friedman, MD

Current event. Came down with Influenza-B w/pneumonia. Dr. Friedman's immediate attention to my serious condition certainly kept me out of the hospital and probably saved my life.

We even face-timed! Never done that before, however I was really failing and being able to actually speak with him in real time was amazing.

I have been with Dr. Friedman for over 25-years. He… See more

Dr. Friedman is a throwback to the old days. He is compassionate and always there to help. But he is more than a throwback, he is highly competent and current in his medical skills.He also has a great bedside manner. I have been a patient of his for almost thirty years ! That says a lot doesn't it ?
