Loomis was born in Bennington, Vermont. He graduated from Union College in 1851, studied medicine at the College of Physicians and Surgeons, New York (now Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons), and graduated in 1853 with an M.D. and again Union College with an A.M.[1] At this time, the science of auscultation and percussion was developing very rapidly, and this circumstance led him to adopt diseases of the lungs and heart as his specialty. He was appointed visiting physician to Bellevue Hospital in 1859, and became lecturer on physical diagnosis at the College of Physicians and Surgeons in 1862.
He was president of the New York Academy of Medicine in 1889–90 and again in 1891–92; and in 1893 served as president of the Association of American Physicians. He published Lessons in Physical Diagnosis (1868; 11th edition, revised and enlarged, 1899); Lectures on Fevers (1877); A Text-Book of Practical Medicine (1884). He was, in addition, editor of An American System of Medicine (1894).
Loomis died at home, aged 63, in New York City on January 23, 1895.
