MORE ABOUT DR. FRIEDMAN

As a Colorado native, Dr. Friedman understands the active residents of Colorado and enjoys taking care of their orthopedic needs. She is a former athlete who has sustained several sports injuries herself, so she understands how important it is to get patients back to the life they love.

She is married to Justin, an Army veteran and current aerospace engineer. Together, they enjoy outdoor activities, including skiing, mountain biking, rock climbing, and camping. They are very happy to be back in Colorado and can’t wait to explore more of Colorado Springs.

Philosophy Of Care

“I have a passion for treating people of all ages and activity levels, from elite athletes to people who want to reduce pain during work or leisure activities. It’s important for me to spend time with each patient to understand their injury as well as their individual treatment goals in order to come up with a plan together. Helping a patient to improve their quality of life is what I love most about this job.”

NOWis the time to seize the moment to revitalize and celebrate the City Auditorium and take it into its next 100 years!

Just imagine! It’s Monday morning, and the cafe and restaurant open at 6am for local residents and those headed to work who want breakfast. The eating establishments inside the facility stay open all day serving folks nourishing meals at varying price points. By 7am school buses full of children from across the region begin to arrive for their arts enrichment education. At noon, the main theater space is host to a luncheon with a flat floor and table configuration. Magically the theater then transforms into a raked audience seating for a local dance recital that is scheduled for 7pm. At 8pm the lower-level theater space hosts an evening of film while patrons enjoy regional spirits at the speakeasy that is adjacent. All the while, both the second and third floors are humming with educational, community and creative works. Throughout the day, the business and creative communities intersect for activities, events and gatherings. Lights out well after the final patron leaves.

“The City Auditorium is a noble presence in downtown Colorado Springs and deserves to be put into a condition where all the citizens can once again take advantage of it. This is why we are 100% in favor of investing in the Community Cultural Collective plan. This building will once again be available to everyone.”
