Dr. Joel Friedman founded St. Georges Veterinary Hospital in 1978 after earning his DVM from the University of the Philippines. With interests in dermatology, dentistry, parasitology, and internal medicine, he has long been dedicated to patient care. Now enjoying semi-retirement, Dr. Friedman spends time with family, his Scottish Terrier Molly, and his many passions - sports, golf, pickleball, concerts, and baseball history - while still greeting clients at the hospital each summer.
