Dr. Stephanie Mick: Blazing a Trail in Robotic Mitral Valve Repair

Dr. Mick in OR


When Stephanie L. Mick, M.D., saw a beating heart during her general surgery residency at NewYork-Presbyterian, she knew that cardiac surgery was her calling.

Not only did Dr. Mick become a cardiac surgeon when there were few women in the field, she went on to become a nationally recognized expert in minimally invasive and robotic cardiac surgery. Her early training cemented her as a pioneer in robotic repair of the mitral valve — she is still one of a small number of surgeons across the country who perform it — and under her leadership, in 2024 NewYork-Presbyterian and Weill Cornell Medicine received for the second time the prestigious Mitral Valve Repair Reference Center Award from the American Heart Association and the Mitral Foundation, which recognizes superior outcomes and adherence to evidence-based guidelines with respect to mitral valve surgery.
