At Friendship Medical our goal is to provide our patients with the highest quality of health care in a friendly, compassionate, and professional atmosphere. Our physicians care for the patients from prevention to diagnosis through their experience and expertise in many aspects of Internal Medicine.

NCQA (National Committee for Quality Assurance) works with large employers, policy makers, doctors, patients and health plans to decide what is important, how to measure it and how to promote improvement. Physician practices who have met stringent criteria measuring health plan performance are given three-year certification and also receive financial rewards depending on their level of program attainment.
