About
Dr. Simlote was born and raised in Syracuse, NY. She earned a BS in Biology with honors from Siena College and her doctor of medicine degree from St. George’s University School of Medicine in Grenada. She was drawn to Family Medicine because it allows her to develop long-term relationships with multi-generations within a family. After returning to upstate New York, Dr. Simlote completed her internship at St. Joseph’s Hospital in Syracuse and continued her training at Arnot Ogden Medical Center, where she obtained concentrations in Women’s Health, Addiction Medicine, and a special track in Geriatrics. She also developed the Family Medicine Women’s Health Clinic and led a research initiative to provide contraceptive education to women who received inpatient psychiatric or addiction services. Dr. Simlote’s passion for community outreach prompted her to earn a Master of Public Health degree and become involved in graduate medical education. Dr. Simlote takes pride in her commitment to lifelong learning and is dedicated to providing her patients with approachable and holistic care. Outside of work, Dr. Simlote and her husband enjoy hiking with their beloved beagle, Babadook, to local waterfalls. She also enjoys visiting new local restaurants with her family and friends.

Meet Nidhi Simlote Villanueva, MD
what our patients are saying
“I have had many occasions visiting CMC for myself and family. We have never had a bad experience there at all. Last October I had surgery and the nurses were amazing especially my night nurse. Thank you to all CMC staff for doing what you do every day with a smile.”
“The staff and accommodations at Cayuga Birthplace are amazing!!! This is what it I imagine it would feel like to be a celebrity getting VIP treatment. I wish I could stay longer – even the food options are 5 Star! The amenities are great. Everything is clean and designed beautifully. Not a single complaint, only praises!”
“I have to say the last couple visits that I’ve had here have been wonderful. About a month ago I had an EGD and the staff were amazing! Explained everything in detail and made me feel at ease. I was very nervous and the nurse I had was very comforting. Tonight we had to take my son to the emergency room and they were awesome with him! We got right in. “
“I have been a Hemo dialysis patient for almost Five years. Prior to dialysis and during dialysis I have had several trips to the ER, due to other health issues & was admitted to CMC more than a few times. Each and every time I’ve been there, whether in patient or out, I have been treated with respect, professionalism, and efficiency. I give this hospital 2 thumbs up!! Thank you CMC for taking care of me all these years!!”
