Dr. Sunil Baldwa MD
Dr. Sunil Baldwa is a cardiologist based in Victor, New York, with more than two decades spent caring for the heart — much of it in service of veterans. He treats the full range of adult cardiovascular conditions, from coronary artery disease and heart failure to atrial fibrillation and valve problems, and brings dual training in cardiology and internal medicine to the way he looks after patients’ overall health, not just their hearts.
He earned his medical degree from Sawai Man Singh Medical College in India, then completed both his internal medicine residency and his cardiovascular disease fellowship at the University at Buffalo. He went on to lead cardiology within the VA system — directing the Division of Cardiology at the Buffalo VA Medical Center and, earlier, serving as cardiology director at the Canandaigua VA — while holding a faculty appointment as an assistant professor at the University at Buffalo School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences.
Alongside his clinical work, he has kept up an active research career, contributing to a body of work on ischemic cardiomyopathy and the prediction of sudden cardiac arrest, as well as studies exploring the link between cardiovascular risk and post-traumatic stress — a line of inquiry that reflects years of caring for veterans whose heart health could not be separated from their broader lives.
That perspective shows in how he practices. In his own description, he tries to combine the art and the science of medicine, spending real time getting to know his patients and the circumstances that surround them. For a field that can feel reduced to numbers and scans, it is a notably human way to approach the heart.
