Dr Samadi: A Renowned Prostate Cancer Specialist

By Phyllis Schroeder


Cancer seems to be striking so many individuals in this day and time, especially with prostate cancer. Dr Samadi, a well-known oncologist originally from Iran, makes it his mission to fight this evil disease through his own unique and effective methods. He is most well known for his use of robotics during his many operations on patients in varying stages of this illness.


Prostate cancer mostly strikes men in their middle age and later years. The symptoms may consist of painful urination, an increased frequency of urination and diminished sexual energy. The mortality rate is getting lower every year as researchers and physicians such as this renowned and very committed surgeon are coming up with new and innovative methods of battling this dreaded disease.

This very talented and committed man came from humble beginnings. He immigrated from overseas at the age of 15. He was actually born a Jew in Iran and fled when it became difficult in his country, leaving a young sister and both of his parents in his homeland. Both he and his brother went to school in the countries of Belgium and Great Britain before arriving on American soil. Both received their high school diplomas here in the States and continued their educations in college.

Young Samadi went to a variety of schools and attended training in several hospitals to achieve his goals. Some of these included Montefiore Medical Center, Stony Brook University, and the well-known medical institution of Albert Einstein College. His industrious sibling worked hard at his education as well and become a highly regarded ear, nose, and throat specialist.

Through the years, he helped more than 6,000 patients with prostate cancer through his surgeries and progressive new methods. The one procedure that he is most acclaimed for is the Samadi Modified Robotic Treatment (SMART) where he uses the advanced technology of robotics to perform a very noninvasive form of surgery on his patients. This type of surgery has become extremely popular as patients experience little pain, have very little blood loss, a shorter recovery time, and little if any scarring. Several celebrities have taken advantage of his new methodology. His success rate is extremely high. About 90% of his patients return to their former lifestyles symptom and cancer free.

This committed doctor is now working as an oncologist at the famous Lenox Hill Hospital. There he is also the Chief over the Robotic Surgery Department and the Chairman of the Urology Department. He also works part-time as both a radio commentator for a medical segment of a well known radio station in New York and correspondent for FOX news medical department.

This doctor does so much already, but he even has his own blog where he answers questions from the general public. He posts articles on current health issues, not just on prostate cancer, and new trends in the health care industry.

His story is so inspiring. He worked hard to get where he is and is now helping people with so many health issues. His drive and intelligence are a gift to mankind and he continues to maintain his life work with a passion and determination that is changing lives everywhere.
