Biography

Dr. Mark Skains is a cardiologist at Cone Health specializing in non-invasive cardiology and cardiac imaging, including echocardiography and cardiac catheterization. He brings a personalized, patient-centered approach to care, focusing on the needs of both patients and their families. A native of New Orleans, Dr. Skains’ love for rhythm and connection—shaped by his background as a jazz drummer—naturally led him to a career caring for the heart, the body’s own rhythm keeper.

He is passionate about the collaborative spirit within Cone Health, where he works alongside a highly skilled team of physicians to deliver exceptional cardiovascular care in a community hospital setting. Outside of medicine, Dr. Skains enjoys music, good food, and the vibrant culture that first inspired his journey.

“The heart is the rhythm of life—and as a drummer, I get to take care of people's hearts. I love it.” – Mark Skains, MD

He really didn't tell me much to be honest. He didn't seem concerned about why I was there, which made me feel like it's not a big deal which is a good thing. But at the same time didn't really make me feel like this is something that can be rectified. And this is affecting my daily life so.

Dr. Skains is very knowledgeable. Upon entering the room he greeted me and ask how I was doing. After a short conversation, he began to discuss my multiple test results for the month without consulting a computer or a paper. I was amazed that he knew so many results (current and past) by memory. It was very evident to me that he had carefully and skillfully reviewed my charts and was well informed about my issues. I have complete confidence with him as my cardiologist!
