FREDRIC D. FRIGOLETTO Jr., M.D.

I was so saddened to just learn of the passing of Dr. Frigoletto. I was the practice manager at the old Lying-In back in the 70's until 1981 for the newly developed attending/fellow/resident OB-GYN practice and I could always count on Dr. Frigoletto for his clear thinking and guidance and sense of humor.
