In Memoriam Dr. Frank Bonura
It is with the heaviest hearts that we share the news of the passing of Frank Bonura, MD, beloved physician who touched countless lives in more than five decades of providing healthcare to women. His energy was boundless, his knowledge endless and his dedication to his patients unparalleled. Maintaining his Smithtown medical practice for 55 years, Dr. Bonura loved treating patients, which he did well into his eighth decade.

Over the course of his career, he delivered close to 10,000 babies before shifting his focus to menopausal medicine. He was among one of the few physicians in the region to be certified by the North American Menopause Society and had served as Director of Osteoporosis and Menopausal Health at St. Catherine of Siena Medical Center since 2018.
​
Dr. Bonura is survived by his wife of more than 55 years, Lenith (Leni), as well as two sons: Frank (James Pollock) Bonura and Christopher Bonura.​
