About Stephanie L. Mick, M.D.
I chose cardiac surgery one fateful day of my general surgery training at Weill Cornell when exposure of the heart was required in a lung operation. When I saw that beating heart, I had an overwhelming sense of seeing a beloved friend. My decision to become a heart surgeon that day began a journey through other world class institutions where I gained experience and expertise, especially in minimally invasive and robotic heart surgery. To my great happiness, the journey led back to where it all started, Weill Cornell, where we deliver top notch care to patients. I truly enjoy taking care of my patients and could only be at a place that shares my value of top quality care of patients as the most important thing in medicine.
I am excited to be back at ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï where I first started my career path. From a technical standpoint my top priority is to provide safe and effective surgical treatments to my patients in the least invasive way possible. From the human perspective, I take a personal approach to patient care and consider it my privilege to shepherd people through the major life event of undergoing cardiac surgery.
Stephanie Mick, MD, is the Carrie and David Landew Associate Professor of Cardiothoracic Surgery in the Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery at ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï and Associate Attending Cardiothoracic Surgeon at NewYork-Presbyterian | Weill Cornell Medical Center.
Dr. Mick graduated Summa Cum Laude from Columbia University. She completed medical school at Weill Cornell Medical College where she was awarded the Janet M. Glasgow Memorial Award, given to the female medical student with the best graduating academic record. She completed an internship and residency in general surgery at NewYork-Presbyterian | Weill Cornell Medical Center, during which she won the Chief Residents’ Award for Clinical Excellence. She then completed a three-year research post-doctoral fellowship with an interest in vascular biology at New York University School of Medicine.
Dr. Mick returned to NewYork-Presbyterian | Weill Cornell Medical Center to complete her chief residency in general surgery. She completed her subspecialty training in cardiothoracic surgery at Brigham and Women’s Hospital where she specialized in adult cardiac surgery. She joined the Cleveland Clinic staff in 2011 and there gained the highest level of expertise as a cardiac surgeon, performing many types of complex cardiac surgery including robotic cardiac surgery. Additionally, she acted as the surgical director of the transcatheter aortic valve replacement program during this time. She returned to New York in 2019 to assume her present position at ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï and NewYork-Presbyterian | Weill Cornell Medical Center.
Dr. Mick is passionate about patient care and minimally invasive approaches to heart disease. She has authored many articles published in leading medical journals and presented her work at regional, national and international surgical meetings. Dr. Mick is a Fellow both of the American Association for Thoracic Surgery and the American Association of Cardiology and is a member of the American Heart Association, American Medical Association, Women in Thoracic Surgery and Society of Thoracic Surgeons.
In her leisure time, Dr. Mick enjoys skiing, travel and music.
