About Dr. Sarah Friend, Founder of myFriendMD

Dr. Sarah Friend is a triple board-certified medical oncologist specializing in breast cancer, with board certifications in internal medicine, hematology, and medical oncology. She is passionate about helping individuals and families navigate cancer with greater clarity, confidence, and peace of mind.

After more than eight years as an Assistant Professor at Emory University’s Winship Cancer Institute, Dr. Friend founded myFriendMD to provide the personalized education and support that many patients need but often don’t have time to receive during traditional medical visits. Through one-on-one virtual coaching sessions, she helps patients and caregivers better understand a new diagnosis, review treatment recommendations, prepare for appointments, navigate survivorship, and feel more empowered throughout their cancer journey.

Dr. Friend is known for combining evidence-based expertise with genuine compassion. She was recognized as an Atlanta Top Doctor in 2026, reflecting her commitment to exceptional patient care and the trust she has earned from both patients and colleagues.

She earned her Bachelor of Science from Emory University and her Doctor of Medicine from Florida State University College of Medicine. She completed her residency in Internal Medicine at Orlando Health and her fellowship in Hematology and Medical Oncology at the University of New Mexico Comprehensive Cancer Center.

When she’s not caring for patients, Dr. Friend enjoys gardening, spending time with her husband and two daughters, and making memories with family and friends.
