The Life And Career Of David Samadi

By Nancy Gardner


The US has several doctors who are the best in the profession and one of them is Samadi. David Samadi has ranked top in the state of New York as the best urologic doctor there is. His wife is of Iranian Jewish ethnicity just like himself. Besides specializing is bladder, kidney, and prostate cancer, he also specializes in treating, preventing, and diagnosing diseases of urinary organs.

The doctor lived in an Iranian Persian Jewish community where he was born with his family. However, with the Iranian Revolution erupting in 1979, he left for Europe. He landed in Belgium and attended schools in London and Belgium during the early years. Later on, he moved to the US and settled in New York where he has lived up to this day.

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 he moved to Lenox Hill Hospital, David brought his old team he used to work with at Columbia Presbyterian Hospital. In all his operations, he has always had the assistance of the same team. The assistance he is accorded by the team has been featured in some reviews made by former and present patients. He became the Chief of Robotics Prostate Surgery and Urology shortly after moving to Lenox Hill Hospital. Even today, he still maintains the same position.

Samadi is recognized for many achievements one of them being the development of SMART. SMART is used with the da Vinci robotic equipment besides being up-to-date and highly sophisticated. It was developed basing on another older procedure, but principles of oncology and open prostatectomy skills were included. The approach is entirely robotic in nature.

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 as compared with other procedures has several advantages. It eliminates the necessity for blood transfusion after surgery because it minimizes blood loss. Side effects, pain, and recovery time are also all minimized. The name bloodless prostate surgery has been used because of the ability to lower blood loss SMART presents.

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.
