Coursen Schneider, M.D.

Biography:

I grew up in Englewood, NJ and Stony Point, NY before attending high school at Avon Old Farms in Avon, CT. I then attended Franklin Pierce University in Rindge, NH before moving back to NY to work in research at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. I loved working in medicine and also felt the pull to serve, so I accepted an Army scholarship to attend medical school at Penn State. I graduated in 2017 and completed my pediatric residency at Walter Reed in Bethesda, MD in 2020. I was subsequently stationed at Ft. Cavazos, TX where I served as both an Army pediatrician and a field surgeon in a cavalry unit through the Spring of 2024.

My wife, Kelly, grew up in Stamford and this city has felt like home for both of us for some time now. We are excited to be back and look forward to raising our two young children, Mac (3) and Stevi (1), here.

In my spare time, I enjoy playing hockey and golf. I love spending time with my family and watching my children grow and discover the world around them. I also love weekend trips to VT and LBI, and am a lifelong fan of the Mets, Jets and Rangers.

Taking care of children is one of my life's joys, and I strive to provide a level of care that I would expect for my own children. I pride myself on fostering a shared decision-making process and creating lasting relationships with families. I look forward to meeting you and your family.
