Tristan Fried, MD — Orthopaedic Spine Surgeon in Honolulu, HI
Board-eligible orthopaedic spine surgeon Dr. Tristan Blase Fried focuses his practice on the full spectrum of degenerative spine conditions, from chronic neck and back pain to complex spinal disorders. Every treatment plan he builds is personalized, weighing each patient’s daily routine, long-term goals, and health history to determine whether non-surgical care, minimally invasive intervention, or traditional surgery offers the best path back to an active life.
Bringing East Coast Training to Honolulu
A transplant from the East Coast, Dr. Fried has made Honolulu his home and is committed to bringing the same caliber of academic, evidence-based spine care he trained in to patients throughout the island community. He blends the precision of advanced surgical technology with an approach rooted in listening first — because the right treatment for a herniated disc, spinal stenosis, or chronic back pain looks different for every patient who walks through his door.
