Dr. Wendy Schaffer

Wendy Schaffer is a cardiologist with expertise in echocardiography and cardio-oncology. She has a PhD from Columbia University and an MD from Cornell University.

She did her cardiology fellowship at Montefiore Einstein in the Bronx and then spent almost two decades providing cardiology care to cancer patients and cancer survivors at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. She loves taking care of patients, as well as assisting her medical colleagues in their patient care. In her free-time, she studies Spanish and poetry and runs long distances very slowly (going for her sixth marathon in 2025).

Besides rescuing hearts, she has been rescuing animals for most of her adult life. She currently lives in New York City with more animals than humans.
