Biography
As a general internist, my job isn’t just diagnosing and treating diseases, but promoting the physical, mental and emotional health of my patients. I love the breadth of my specialty and knowing that people can come to me with any issue they may have. I work together with my patients to create treatment plans that align with their personality, sentiment and expectations. As a physician, my goal is to build and maintain trust and open communication with my patients.
The best part about working at Ohio State is the people. They’ve helped make my transition here amazing. Everyone from the physicians and nurses to the support staff and administrative leadership is committed to providing exceptional care to our patients and quality education for our medical students and physicians in training.
When I’m not working, I’m spending time with my wife, our two amazing daughters and our dog, Ruckus. I enjoy playing disc golf at the awesome courses around Columbus and am an avid marathon runner. I also help write and produce a podcast for medical students and practicing physicians.

Academics and research
I joined the Division of General Internal Medicine in 2018, bringing with me an enthusiastic attitude towards research and education. Alongside my busy primary care practice, I am interested in the integration of comprehensive primary care and outpatient addiction medicine. I am actively seeking grants from funding agencies to learn how we can best treat patients with opioid use disorders within our primary care clinics and maintain those patients within treatment. I am working with physicians across the medical center to study and improve transitions of care of patients with addiction as they transition from acute care through addiction psychiatry services and into ongoing lasting recovery. Since joining the division, I have led the Division of General Internal Medicine buprenorphine prescribing efforts and has developed the nascent policies and protocols that allow the longitudinal care of people with opioid use disorder while meeting state and federal standards of care. Alongside this, I am a founding member and producer of Core IM, an internal medicine podcast now affiliated with the American College of Physicians for CME credit.

Dr. Fried is most of the most caring and brilliant physicians I've known. He is steady , calm and always thinking of my best interests. I have referred my friends and family to him.

I cannot say enough good things about Dr.Fried in this small a space. He is extremely knowledgeable, caring, thorough, and trustworthy.

Very pleased with the care I get from Dr. Fried!
I drive from quite a bit away to see Dr Fried because he is probably one of the best doctors I've come across & I work in health care for someone outside of OSU. He responds to messages & prescription requests usually within hours, maybe 24 hours at most. He always makes sure my job has my paperwork & he's always willing to answer questions & if he doesn't have an answer, he'll at least get me a specialist that does.

Dr Fried actually he was very sympathetic empathetic and really cared about my feelings. Gave hugs to me and my husband for the loss of our son he is very compassionate.
Dr. Fried was wonderfully he took all the time I needed to talk to him
My care provider asked first if I had any concerns regarding my health. We discussed those issues and then we discussed the other concerns which he had further regarding my health. He took time in our discussion to make sure he understood me and that I understood him.
