Dr. Mark Mann was born and raised in New York City, NY (mostly in Queens and Manhattan, although he did live in the Bronx and even Pittsburgh, PA for a few years). He attended undergraduate school at Columbia College where he majored in Biology and was listed on the Dean’s List every semester of attendance. While doing basic and translational research in neurosciences, he then enrolled in Columbia University’s College of Physicians and Surgeons for medical school. In medical school, Dr. Mann performed cardiology basic sciences research and was awarded a Russek American College of Cardiology grant in his first year. In between his third and fourth year of medical school, he was awarded a Doris Duke Clinical Research Fellowship, and took a year off to conduct outcomes research and initiate clinical trials in the department of urology.

After graduating from medical school in 2008, Dr. Mann completed his surgical internship at SUNY Upstate in Syracuse, NY, followed by urology residency training at Columbia University, which he completed in 2014. He also completed additional minimally-invasive urologic oncology training at the Sidney Kimmel Medical College of Thomas Jefferson University while performing as a clinical instructor and was ultimately hired to stay on as an Assistant Professor.
