Dr. Roy E Fried, MD

My mother was in Memory Care for 18 months and Dr. Fried was her doctor in the assisted living facilty. Not only was he thorough with his examinations, but he also carefully explained the process. He educated me about dementia and Alzheimer's in a caring way. He took the time to answer all my questions. On the occasions when I called, he responded quickly. He and I agreed that comfort was the goal for her. His interactions put both Mom and I at ease. He saw Mom through to the end and treated her with dignity, professionalism, and kindness. How lucky was I that Dr. Fried was Mom's physician. I am very pleased.

I was his patient when he was still with the GWU HMO. When he moved to Kaiser in Maryland, I had to change doctors. I wish that I could be under his care, but his location does not make it possible, especially now that I am minimizing my driving (from SW Washington). Anyone who is his patient is very fortunate.

Dr. Fried is one of the best doctors I have ever encountered. Sole practice is geriatrics - house calls to residents of assisted living. He took over my mom's care after other doctors had dosed her up on dozens of meds. He reduced meds to essential ones and has improved her overall health and well being. Takes direct calls and emails from patients and family members and responds usually within hours. Great bedside manner, funny and warm. His first visit to assess my mom was a full 3 hrs! Never seems rushed or distracted.
