The decision to undergo plastic surgery is an important one and should never be rushed.

Dr. Friedlander grew up in Tennessee, but has resided in the Tri-State area for over three decades. She attended medical school at the State University of New York and completed a full general surgery training program in four years, rather than the usual, five.
