Philadelphia (May 2002)— Guy W. Fried, MD, was named one of the region’s top rehabilitation doctors by physicians surveyed in Philadelphia and the surrounding seven-county area in Pennsylvania and New Jersey.

The survey results are in the Top Doctors listing in the May 2002 issue of Philadelphia magazine. The publication began by working from a supplied list of doctors in the region who had been asked which doctors they would “consider sending a family member to in case of a serious problem.” The publication received more than 4,000 e-mail responses from those polled. This was the largest pool of responses in the two-decade history of the Top Doctors listing.

Dr. Fried is certified by the American Board of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation and the American Board of Electrodiagnostic Medicine. He also is a member of various societies and professional organizations including the American Medical Association, the American Academy of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, and the American Congress of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation.

Dr. Fried specializes in rehabilitation for spinal cord injury (SCI) patients with ventilator assisted breathing. He is one of a handful of physicians in the nation focusing on this type of care. Dr. Fried received his MD from Yale Medical School in 1985.
