About
Nancy Gade, MD earned her medical degree from New York University in 1993. She completed her internship and residency in Internal Medicine at Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center, where she developed a strong focus on preventive medicine and went on to conduct research and lecture in that field. Her clinical philosophy centers on the whole person: she helps patients navigate the growing volume of medical screening technology to identify tests that are both useful and evidence-based.
Before co-founding Wilton Internal Medicine in 2008, Dr. Gade practiced at Wilton Medical Associates, PC, a multi-physician group in the center of town. She co-launched WIM with Dr. Iyer to pursue personalized medicine and the ability to make house calls. Dr. Gade lives in Wilton with her husband and two children, Jimmy and Ava. When she steps out of the office, she often heads to the ballet studio across the street, and she regularly encourages her patients to find movement that keeps both mind and body balanced.
