He did his internship and residency at St. Vincent's Hospital in Manhattan, NY and fellowship in Nephrology at Duke University. He was listed numerous times in New York Magazine as one of the Top Doctors.
Dr. Maniscalco is survived by his wife of fifty-three years, Carolee; two sons Albert and Mark, daughter-in-law Deborah, sister Linda Calarco and brother in law Vincent Calarco, grandchildren Matthew and Rachel, and nephews David and Christopher.
