About Mitchel L. Friedman, DDS
Dr. Mitchel L. Friedman graduated from Middletown High School in 1976 and received a bachelor’s degree from Rutgers College four years later. He went on to earn a doctorate of dental surgery (DDS) from the Medical College of Virginia School of Dentistry in 1984, where he graduated in the top 15 percent of his class. He then moved back to Monmouth County to attend the general practice residency program at Monmouth Medical Center. Soon after starting his own practice, Dr. Friedman performed over 500 hours of post-graduate continuing education to obtain his Fellowship in the Academy of General Dentistry (FAGD) in 1990. In 2010 he completed an additional 1,000 hours to earn his mastership – a distinction that only 2 percent of all dentists have achieved! He is currently an attending doctor on staff and part-time clinical instructor at the Monmouth Medical Center, where he teaches advanced dental techniques and sedation to newly graduated dentists. Dr. Friedman is one of only a few general dentists in New Jersey to be certified to perform IV sedation in his office. This gives patients the opportunity to have all phases of dental care performed in a single location while comfortably and safely sedated. He is also a Fellow in the Dental Organization for Conscious Sedation.
