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.

Development of SMART, which is an advanced prostate cancer surgical technique is among the accomplishments the doctor is credited with. SMART is one of its own advanced surgical method in the world. Only Samadi has used it so far. In all the operations that Samadi performs, he is assisted with the same team. The team has never changed. In fact, the team has never changed since he began working in the capacity of a surgeon.

The team that David currently work with is the one he brought over to Lenox Hill Hospital when he moved from Presbyterian Hospital. His SMART technique has revolutionized prostate surgery by lowering blood loss to minute levels. One does not need blood transfusion because blood loss is very low. Patient lose a lot of blood in other surgical methods to a point that their survival is dependent on a blood transfusion.

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 is known for not delegating his responsibilities. He performs all surgical procedures together with his team without delegating them. This has helped him to be recognized and respected a lot. Many patients prefer the main doctor to operate on them rather than assistants. Many magazines and news agencies recognize him for his efforts. He was named the highest paid doctor in New York in 2012. A local university also appointed him as a professor in the school of medicine.

The doctor has very high academic qualifications. He has attended several fellowships in open, laparoscopic, and robotic surgery. He continues to attend further training to keep his skills. He has a website from where more can be learned about him.
