Nancy R. Gade, MD  began her medical training at New York University where she attained her MD in 1993. Challenged by medicine in the big city, she continued her training in New York at the prestigious Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center where she trained for her internship and residency in Internal Medicine. 

While at Columbia, Dr. Gade developed a keen interest in preventive medicine and went on to do research and lecture in this field. “I believe in concentrating on the prevention of disease which means focusing on the entire individual, not just treating a disease or a body part,” she says. “There is so much technology out there to screen for every malady you can think of, but few people know what test they need or which one is useful, or even proven. I help my patients navigate through the myriad of medical information available.” Practicing personalized medicine has allowed Dr. Gade to focus her efforts on the individual instead of the masses. 

Prior to launching Wilton Internal Medicine, LLC in 2008 with co-founder and partner, Dr. Iyer, she worked at Wilton Medical Associates, PC, a multi-physician group in the center of town. “It was here I developed so many close relationships with many of my patients, but became frustrated with the limitations imposed on me by third parties……..I wanted to have more time with each patient, be able to think more about individual patient problems, and even do house calls!” Since opening WIM, Dr. Gade has been able to accomplish all she set out to do -  devoting herself to personalized medicine, her patients give glowing reports about the time and attention they receive, and her homebound patients love having a doctor that makes house calls. 

Dr. Gade lives in Wilton with her husband and two children, Jimmy and Ava. If she’s not in the office, you can often find her practicing ballet at the studio across the street - “….dance or any type of exercise is the best medicine I can prescribe to keep your mind and body balanced”.
