The Life Of David Samadi

By Daphne Bowen


Samadi as a board certified urologic oncologist has a lot of training and experience in laparoscopic and open traditional surgery. He is of Jewish-Iranian ethnicity having born and raised in a Jewish- Iranian community in Iran. He lived in Iran part of his childhood before the Iranian Revolution pushed him out into Europe together with his younger brother. David Samadi found a place to settle in Belgium, but later moved to New York, US.

Owing to his mobile life during his tender age, he schooled in Belgium, London, and the US. However, after moving to the US, he settled in New York, where he has spent most of his life ever since. He specialized in urology, later earning a degree in the same field. He is an expert of robotic prostate surgery and has worked with some of the most known health institutions.

The number of successful robotic prostate surgeries that Samadi is credited with is over six thousand. His current success rate is 89%. An equal percentage of patients walk away cancer free after operation too. Most patients are also able to regain sexual functionality only after a year of being operated.

One among the main achievements of the doctor is developing an advanced prostate cancer surgery technique called SMART. The technique is one of the most advanced surgical procedures in use today and has led to many successes in surgery. No other doctor has used SMART except David alone. All his operations are done with the assistance of the same team members. He has never changed his team since he started working.

It is the same team that he moved with from Presbyterian Hospital to Lenox Hill Hospital that he still operates with. SMART is a revolutionary technique that lowers the level of blood loss during surgery to a point that there is no need for blood transfusion after it is complete. This is contrasted to several other surgical procedures that make patients lose a lot of blood and must receive a blood transfusion to survive.

Many patients who have been treated by David know him for providing excellent care after and before operation. Care is customized according to the specific needs of patients. Complications are eliminated because of such good care. Patients are given attention the minute they enter the hospital. Waiting time is very low.

David does not delegate his responsibilities to other professionals. All surgical operations are done by himself with the assistance of his team. The fact that he operates on patients himself has helped his career a lot and has earned him good reputation. Many newsrooms and magazines have recognized his efforts. In 2012, he was the highest earning doctor in the state of New York and possibly beyond. He is also an appointed professor at a local university.

The academic qualifications of the doctor are very high. He has been attending many fellowships in laparoscopic, robotic, and open surgery. Additionally, he also continues to get more training to be better. One can learn about him through his website.
