Abby was featured in honor of Valentine's day as she works in Cardiology! Last night Whom You Know was honored to attend Steppin’ Out, the Lenox Hill Hospital Autumn Ball. The black tie gala honored Dr. Armondo Grassi, Chairman Emeritus Department of Neonatology and Pediatrics. He has been the Chief of Neonatal Services since 1977 and the Chairman of the Department of Pediatrics since 1989. The Armando Grassi, M.D. Neonatal Development Fund was established in 2009 to honor and recognize the dedicated service of Dr. Grassi as Director of Neonatology and Pediatrics. During his 30-year tenure, thousands of newborns were treated with life-threatening ailments and grew to healthy adulthood as a result of his compassionate care and expertise.

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
