Frimmer’s first novel, Bedside Manners, was published in 2018 and won numerous awards throughout the region - being described as “a medical story, a mother-daughter tale, and a coming of age narrative, all rolled up into one absorbing story.” by Westporter and CNN anchor Alisyn Camerota. The newest novel “Better to Trust” follows the story of a woman in need of brain surgery and her neurosurgeon brother-in-law, with intertwined stories involving drug addiction, secret affairs, and risk-taking kids.

Dr. Frimmer is a emergency care and breast imaging radiologist. She completed her medical education at Weill-Cornell Medical College, New York Presbyterian-Cornell and Yale New Haven Hospital, and now lives in Weston with her husband and two children.
