Cecilia L. Mercado, MD

As a radiologist specializing in breast imaging at NYU Langone, I am dedicated to providing precise and compassionate care to my patients. My journey into medicine began with a fascination for the sciences during high school, which continued through college and led me to pursue a career in radiology. I find great fulfillment in using advanced imaging techniques to evaluate and diagnose breast lesions, ensuring that each patient receives the most accurate and timely diagnosis possible.

I specialize in breast imaging, with a focus on the evaluation and diagnosis of breast lesions. With training from NYU Grossman School of Medicine and a fellowship in breast imaging, I bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to my role. My commitment to patient care is reflected in my meticulous approach to imaging and diagnosis, ensuring that each patient receives personalized and effective care.

Throughout my career, I have been deeply involved in medical education, which has been an integral part of my professional journey. As the program director for the diagnostic radiology residency at NYU Grossman School of Medicine, I have overseen the educational training of over a hundred radiology residents and enhanced their learning experience. Additionally, I serve as a Violet Society program advisor, mentoring medical students and supporting their academic aspirations. Being part of the academic growth of my trainees and mentees is a privilege and a source of great pride.

I am proud to be part of the outstanding team at NYU Langone, providing exceptional care, collaborating with experts across various disciplines, and ensuring comprehensive and coordinated care for our patients.
