Dr. Nicholas M. Venci MD
Dr. Nicholas M. Venci is a cardiologist based in Victor, New York, who has spent his entire career as a physician in the Rochester area — and built a reputation, more than anything, as someone who listens. He cares for the full range of adult heart conditions, from coronary artery disease and heart failure to arrhythmias and adult congenital heart problems, and is the kind of cardiologist patients describe as easy to talk to and genuinely unhurried.
He earned his medical degree from the Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences at the University at Buffalo, then completed his internship, internal medicine residency, and cardiovascular disease fellowship all at the University of Rochester Medical Center, where he went on to join the faculty as an assistant professor of clinical medicine. Board certified in both internal medicine and cardiovascular disease, he sees patients across the Rochester region and into the surrounding communities.
His clinical interests run across general cardiology, with particular attention to adult congenital heart conditions and to the cardiac effects of cancer treatment — the subject of his published research on detecting chemotherapy-related heart strain before it shows up as obvious heart failure. It is a fittingly preventive way of thinking: catching trouble early, before it becomes a crisis.
What patients return to, again and again, is how he treats them. They describe a doctor who explains conditions clearly — including the genetic implications that might matter for their children — answers every question without rushing, and remembers the details of their history. Some have been with him since his fellowship years and simply never left. Kind, patient, and straightforward, he is, by many accounts, the kind of physician other doctors might be measured against.
