Holly M Koncicki, MD, MS

Dr. Holly Koncicki graduated from the Rutgers New Jersey Medical School and completed her Internal Medicine Residency and Fellowship training at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. She is triple board certified in Internal Medicine, Nephrology and Palliative Medicine and Hospice. She is one of a few physicians who has trained in an integrated program of Nephrology and Palliative Medicine and is part of a small group of experts in this field. Though she cares for patients with all types of kidney problems, her specialty is caring for older patients with kidney impairment. She is widely published and has spoken nationally on topics including decision making in advanced kidney disease and symptom management. Her research focuses on communication tools to improve communication between patients and providers around discussion of treatment options for kidney disease. In 2020, she was honored by receiving the Cullman Family Physician Communication Award.  She prides herself in learning each patient’s narrative that she treats, so she can best understand how to care for them.

Additionally, she is active within the Division of Nephrology as an Associate Program Director for the Nephrology fellowship program. She is the Wellness Champion for both faculty and fellows, and is a Mentoring Champion for faculty in an effort to help professional development and growth in junior faculty members.
