Adam H. Skolnick, MD

My journey in medicine began at Brown University, where I completed a combined bachelor of arts and doctor of medicine (BA-MD) program. I further honed my skills at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, a major teaching hospital of Harvard Medical School, for both my internship and residency in internal medicine. My specialty training in cardiovascular disease was completed at NYU Langone, where I was twice named the fellow of the year and served as chief cardiology fellow.

I have a wealth of experience in managing chronic conditions such as cholesterol abnormalities, complex valvular heart disease (aortic and mitral), syncope, arrhythmias, palpitation, coronary artery disease and prevention of heart disease in those with a family history of early heart disease.

In addition to my clinical work, I am actively involved in the echocardiography laboratory at NYU Langone, where I perform and interpret transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiograms and stress echocardiogram to improve patient outcomes. I also help to run the monthly Geriatric Cardiology Conference.

Throughout my career, I have emphasized the importance of carrying the torch forwards to continue to deliver cutting-edge science and medicine in the future. This is reflected in my research and teaching roles. I have over 50 publications in peer-reviewed journals. As the David and Mary Boies Associate Professor of Cardiology at NYU Grossman School of Medicine, I am dedicated to educating the next generation of physicians, in my role as the module director of the cardiology course for first-year medical students. In addition to receiving the Distinguished Teacher in the Basic Sciences and the Distinguished Teacher in the Clinical Sciences Awards in 2021, I received the NYU Distinguished Teaching Award. This university-wide honor recognizes gifted teachers across all undergraduate and professional schools in the university.

I am most fortunate to work alongside Caroline Goldberg, NP, as an integral member of our team, ensuring timely access to outstanding care and follow-up.

As a devoted cardiologist at NYU Langone, I believe in the power of patient engagement, proactive health management with an emphasis on caring for the whole person and building strong relationships with my patients. My passion lies in delivering the highest standard of individualized care no matter the complexity, and I find great fulfillment in helping my patients lead healthier lives.
