Co-Founder of Friedman Dental Group and OneSolution Dental Implants, General and Cosmetic Dentistry.

My name is Katia Friedman and I’m the co-founder of Friedman Dental Group. I’m originally from Montreal, Canada where I went to dental school at the University of Montreal. I graduated with honors in the year 2000, and I have practiced in South Florida as a dentist since 2004.

Over the years, along with my husband Dr. Eli Friedman, we have accumulated 4 locations: Coral Springs, Tamarac, Plantation and Palm Beach.

We surrounded ourselves with the best doctors and Specialists out there so that we can ensure you are always receiving the best care possible and so that we can communicate amongst us in the event you are experiencing something that requires a team of doctors. We offer the most up-to-date techniques and procedures so that you and your family can benefit from that.

Our goal here at Friedman Dental Group, is to provide you with the same care as if you were a friend or family member. We want you to have what we believe is most important: a beautiful and healthy smile so that you can enjoy life to the fullest by being able to bite into your favorite foods, smile and laugh so you can shine, brighten every room and open opportunities for yourself. We can give you all this using the most state of the art technology and the least invasive, most conservative treatment possible, as we believe in preserving your natural teeth as long as possible.
