About
Dr. Rebecca Fredrick is a family medicine physician and osteopathic specialist practicing in Rocky River, Ohio. She graduated from Ohio University College of Osteopathic Medicine in 2005, entering medical school in 2001. Before that, she earned a Bachelor of Arts in Religious Studies from Hiram College in 2001, a foundation she credits with shaping her broad, whole-person view of patient care.
Dr. Fredrick chose osteopathic medicine specifically for its philosophy of treating the whole person rather than isolating disease. She specializes in family medicine and osteopathic manipulation therapy, treating conditions ranging from diabetes, hypertension, and thyroid disorders to migraines, back pain, pelvic pain, and perimenopause. Known around Rocky River as "Dr. Becca," she has served this community since 2015 and has lived here for over 23 years. Her roots run deep: she first arrived in 2003 when her medical school lottery placed her at Saint John Westshore Hospital in Westlake for third-year rotations. Outside the clinic, Dr. Fredrick is a 200-hour Registered Yoga Teacher. She completed "Be the Love" Yoga Teacher Training in 2018 and currently teaches at Cultivate Yoga in Lakewood and Avon. She is also pursuing her 500-hour YTT through the Yoga Medicine program. When she is not with patients, she trains at Orangetheory Fitness, hikes the Metroparks, goes fishing, and cheers on Rocky River High School athletes and performers at community events.
