Is there a new Dr working with Dr Hanauer and Dolisi?

Does anyone know anything about the new Dr working with Dr Hanauer and Dolisi? I think its a female Dr with the last name Fravella or something like that?

TIA!

Re: Is there a new Dr working with Dr Hanauer and Dolisi?

Is it Dr. Fradella from Massapequa? She began working with them near the end of 2007, when she stopped doing OB and Dolisi took that part of it over. She is lovely also and was my OB before the switch. Dolisi sees some OB patients there one afternoon per week.

Re: Is there a new Dr working with Dr Hanauer and Dolisi?

Yes, Dr. Fradella has her own practice in Massapequa. I used to go to her, then I changed to Hanauer/Dolisi and then I was surprised to see her there in the office in 2008.

She's not doing OB anymore, just GYN stuff.

Re: Is there a new Dr working with Dr Hanauer and Dolisi?

I was a patient of Dr. Fradella's for years and she transferred me to Dr. Dolisi. Dr. Fradella has been doing Gyn in his office for a while now. As far as I know she still has her own practice as well. Dr. Dolisi took her OB patients when she decided to only do gyn in 2008. As part of the arrangement, she started doing gyn in his office to help with some of the patient load.

Dr. Dolisi mentioned to me the last time I was there he was planning on bringing a great new female Dr. into his practice full time soon. Maybe she is full time there now?

oh great!
i knew she worked with them and that dr dolisi would help cover for her patients when she was on vacation....i didnt realize she would be working in their office now though. i hope i never have to see her!!!!!
i dont think she is in massapequa anymore bc her office was on broadway and it's been closed for a few months now.
i went to her 1x about 3-4 years ago before choosing dr hanauer and i hated her. she had a terrible bedside manner and just seemed so condescending.
my weight always fluctuates and i do consider myself "chubby." when im not preggo im usually about 10 lbs overweight - but by no means am i "heavy". i am 5'4 and weighed about 135 lbs when i went to see her and she told me that if i didnt lose weight before getting PG i would become "a house" - i swear she used that word . maybe she was trying to help, but honestly, she said that to me within 10 min of meeting me - come on im usually not too sensitive about things like that, but her whole manner just piZZed me off~~~
