Personal And Career Life Of David Samadi

By Nancy Gardner


Dr. Samadi is currently one of the best doctors in the treatment of urologic problems in the United States. Within the state of New York, where the doctor lives with his family, he is the best of all doctors in this category. His efforts have been recognized by several entities and individuals. David Samadi specializes in the treatment of diseases that affect urinary organs. He further specializes in various types of cancer such as kidney, prostate, and bladder cancer.

The doctor started his life in a Persian Jewish community in Iran where he lived with his family. However, he moved into Europe immediately after the Iranian Revolution began in 1979. His destination in Europe was Belgium, and he went to school in London and Belgian schools. Later, he moved to New York and has stayed there since then.

The academic qualifications of Dr. David are among the highest in his specialty. Besides attending several annual postgraduate trainings and fellowships, he also has a master degree. A full scholarship helped fund his studies for the M. D. Columbia Presbyterian Hospital is where he started his practice in the field of urology. He was given some top position there before he left for Lenox Hill Hospital.

When moving to Lenox Hill Hospital, David did not leave the team he had worked with at Columbia Presbyterian Hospital. Since then, he has maintained the same team for all his operations. Clients have acknowledged the great work the team does for the doctor in their reviews. The doctor did not spend a long time at Lenox Hill Hospital before he was appointed as the Chief of Urology and Robotics Prostate Surgery. He still holds the same position today.

The development of SMART surgical method is one of the things Samadi has achieved. This procedure is current, highly sophisticated, and the practitioner uses it in combination with da Vinci robotic equipment. It is an improvement of a previous procedure, but incorporates oncologic principles combined with open prostatectomy skills. Its approach is purely robotic.

The only user of SMART so far is David and it is a very successful procedure. Being operated using SMART is almost a guarantee of walking away free of cancer. Cases of cancer reoccurrence are less than 11% among all patients treated so far. Even with a reoccurrence, a second operation always presents even more chances.

SMART presents several advantages not found in other modern procedures. First, blood loss is minimized a lot, making a blood transfusion not necessary after it is done. In addition, side effects, recovery time, pain, and time spent in the hospital are also minimized greatly. Because of the reduced loss in blood, SMART has earned the name bloodless prostate surgery.

The work attributed to Samadi has been a life saver in New York as well as the entire US and the world. His hard work, commitment to the job, and high specialization in the field of urology has not gone unnoticed. He was named as the doctor with the highest pay in New York in 2012 with an annual salary of over US Dollars 7.6 million. Saying that he is the best would be a compliment well deserved.
