Bret Friday, MD, PhD Hematology/Oncology | | Dr. Bret Friday thinks he gets the best of both the city and the country by living in Duluth. “I’m not as much of a big city person and so I think Duluth offered for me some of the amenities of a bigger city or town but still allows me to be in the outdoors and live in the country. I live a little bit outside of town so I live in the country but I’m 15 minutes from downtown. I get the best of both worlds.”
