By Daphne Bowen


Samadi is a board certified urologic oncologist who has wide training in open traditional and laparoscopic surgery. He was born in an Iranian community to parents with a Jewish-Iranian ethnicity. The doctor spent early years of his life in Iran up until the Iranian Revolution when he moved to Europe with his younger brother. David Samadi later settled in Belgium before moving on to the state of New York in the 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.

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.

Such care has eliminated or minimized chances of complications before and after surgery. Clients are served immediately by the assistive team the moment they arrive. Waiting time is minimum.

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.
