Dr. Fruiterman is a 1972 graduate of the Albany Medical College. After two years at Montefiore Hospital in the Bronx, NY, as an intern and resident, he returned to Albany to complete the third year of his Internal Medicine training and subsequently spent two years as an Endocrinology fellow in the department of Medicine. He entered into his solo practice in 1977. He has been privileged to watch the practice grow and mature into the current Endocrine Group. He takes great pride in the fact that the Endocrine group was the first practice in the region to have a fully automated medical record, the entire practice automated by 1998.
