Dr. Friedman has dedicated his medical career specializing in hair restoration surgery. He is the Founding President of the American Board of Hair Restoration Surgery, which is the certifying board for hair transplant surgeons. Dr. Friedman believes that hair transplantation is a surgical specialty in itself, requiring professional oversight, as in other medical specialties to protect the public from inexperienced surgeons. He has lectured extensively nationally and internationally at hair restoration and dermatology seminars, as well as teaching his surgical techniques at live surgery workshops.

Dr. Friedman has been very generous with his time and knowledge training a number of well known hair transplant physicians. As a teacher, Dr. Friedman not only performs the latest hair restoration techniques, but has advanced hair transplantation with his own innovative ideas and skills.
