Elizabeth Frisse, MD

As a laborist at NYU Langone, I specialize in labor and delivery, focusing exclusively on the care of pregnant women and the delivery of babies. I am dedicated to providing compassionate and quality care to pregnant women during one of the most vulnerable and joyous times of their lives. My philosophy centers around empowering patients, ensuring they feel like integral members of the healthcare team, and supporting them through every step of their healthcare experience.

My medical career was inspired by my personal experience helping my mother navigate her cancer diagnosis and treatment. I pursued my medical education with a focus on obstetrics and gynecology, driven by the desire to make a meaningful impact on the lives of my patients. My commitment to reducing the cesarean rate for first-time mothers at NYU Langone is a testament to my dedication to improving maternal health outcomes.

Throughout my career, I have been deeply involved in proactive healthcare engagement, working closely with my colleagues to provide the highest quality care. I am passionate about creating a safe and supportive environment for mothers and their newborns. The intensity and joy of delivering a baby for the first time solidified my passion for this specialty. I have been practicing for several years, and each birth still feels as special as the first.
