We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Best of the Best
Dr. Samadi is an experienced skilled surgeon, confident and comforting. My husband had prostate cancer and needed surgery. I called a few of the robot manufacturers and begged them to tell me the 3 best robotic surgeons in the country, that we would be willing to travel anywhere, the drs. that teach etc. Dr. Samadi’s name was in each list along w a Dr. in Orlando. We chose Dr. Samadi. It is now 14 years later and he’s still cancer free. My friend’s husband scheduled his prostate removal w a well known urologist. This urologist did not tell them that he didn’t know how to use robotic equipment he be done open meaning longer recovery & more pain. Outdated. It was scheduled 6 weeks away.I told her about Dr. Samadi where my husband went. Her husband was operated on within days since his case required immediate care. A few small scars. Even just for a second opinion, his office is full of patients from all over the world. Now I know why. I highly recommend Dr. Samadi.

Dr. Samadi is a skilled surgeon; also confident and comforting. My husband had prostate cancer and needed surgery. I called a few of the robot manufacturers and “begged” them to tell me the 3 best robotic surgeons in the country. The ones that teach etc. Dr. Samadi’s name was in each list and a Dr. in Orlando was also. We chose Dr. Samadi. It is now 14 years later and he’s still cancer free. My girlfriend’s husband scheduled his prostate removal w a well known and “respected” urologist. But, this urologist forgot or didn’t’ tell them that didn’t know how to use robotic equipment and told her he was opening him up. Meaning longer recovery & more pain. She fired him for omitting that piece. I insisted her husband see to Dr. Samadi (where my husband went). Her husband was operated on in days since his case was so advanced, robotically. Even just for a second opinion, his office is full of patients from all over the world. Now I know why. I highly recommend Dr. Samadi.

I recently visited Dr Samadi for my 18-month check-up post prostate surgery. I feel great and all body functions are working well. From my first consultation, Dr Samadi has been very patient and caring with detailed explanations of my healthcare. His entire staff are always very helpful.

For the rich & famous
Dr. Samadi this message is for you. Your assistant Ann led me to believe that you take my insurance. She set up an appointment based on the info I gave her only to email me over the weekend to say she hadn't heard from me, which is obviously untrue. This, from a world-class doctor's office? Ann accused me of not caring about my health enough to spend money out of pocket... not only during your office visit but your fee for any surgery and tests you order CaChing!!! Your office staff was kind enough to explain in detail. I canceled the appointment that Ann made. Like, you are the only Urologist in the greatest city in the world? Men beware; you can get the best oncology care at Memorial Sloan Kettering. And they are prepared to help you if you are on Medicare... The fact is that Dr. Samadi has a lot of time on his hands now that he has turned his back on Medicare patients! He does care about the rich and famous so if you fall into this category he will gladly take your money.

Supreme individual
Professional, caring and gentle makes you feel at ease. He treats you like you are a human being (family) not a number and not about the almighty dollar. God has blessed him with a gentle caring heart and the gift to be excellent in what he does. I just purchased his book The Ultimate MANUAL can't wait to read it.

Compassionate Dr.
Dr. Samadi was my second opinion. When I left Dr. Samadi's office, I knew I was going to travel 300 miles to have him perform my surgery. Five years later, I am so glade I did.

I am a retired Army veteran who was diagnosed with prostate cancer age the age of 54 and had no prior history of prostate cancer in my family. Dr. Samadi performed my surgery June 27, 2018 and I am on the road to recover. My journey from Lakeland, Florida to New York to receive the best care from the best urologist in the world was well worth it! He has as earned my respect and gratitude as long as I live. I highly recommend his services!

About a month and a half ago, I was diagnosed with prostate cancer. At first, I did not take the news well. I thought my life would never be the same. I started searching for the best doctors I can find. Finally, by the grace of Gd, I found out about Dr. Samadi in Lenox Hill Hospital. The man is a legend and comes highly recommended! So, we spoke and I trusted this incredible man to help save my life. Men with this problem, do yourself a big favor and see this great doctor. I would like to thank

When someone is diagnosed with prostate cancer it is devastating. After the shocking news I searched for treatments for my cancer . This by itself was extremely stressful. WhenI found Dr Samadi I knew my decision immediately. At the office I was treated with so much care and understanding. They scheduled my surgery in a few weeks . The surgery was a huge success and a short recovery. Everything went as planned.With little side effects. OVER a year later I’m CANCER FREE ! Dr Samadi SAVED MY LIFE

Dr. Samadi embodies the ideal physician. He exudes an aura of warmth and confidence, he is compassionate and persistently empathic towards his patient. He always puts patient’s dignity and welfare above everything. In terms of avant garde technical knowledge and skills, he is par excellence. He is detail-oriented, meticulous but cautious. A cut above the rest. He is a rare gifted, heaven-sent healer; truly a yardstick of standard for his fellow colleagues. Hats off to him, I am cancer free

I had " No course of action" as a result of previous medical issues. I had been to other urologist's and no one knew what to do with me.( Long story) After sitting with myself and my wife and reviewing my prior medical records, Dr. Samadi looked at us and said without hesitation "I HAVE A PLAN FOR YOU" . Within 2 weeks Doctor Samadi gave me relief both physically and mentally that I had thought would never be possible. He and his staff are caring and compassionate .

As Thanksgiving approaches it seems the perfect time to express my gratitude to Dr. David Samadi for restoring my husband to optimum health after his bout with prostate cancer. Not only is Dr. Samadi the top surgeon and urologist in his field, he is also a man who cares about his patients, spends time to listen and allay their fears, and also helps the healing process along with a dose of his wonderful sense of humor. His prescription for pelvic floor physical therapy helped tremendously!
