Dr Samadi: A Pioneer In Robotics

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.

Men in their middle and later years are most at risk for this type of cancer. The many symptoms can include frequency of urination, painful urination, and a diminished sexual capacity. With new treatments and advanced research, new and better treatments are available every day to battle this cancer.

This talented physician immigrated from overseas at a very young age. He was born in Iran and fled the country with his brother after Iran became too dangerous for them to stay, leaving parents and a younger sister behind. He and his brother attended school in Belgium and England before immigrating to America. The two boys finished high school and both continued on to college.

His sibling went on to medical school and became a respected ear, nose, and throat physician while he struck out on his very own and began to specialize in prostate cancer and similar diseases. He went to a variety of schools such as Stony Brook University, medical school at the Albert Einstein College and and also at the Montefiore Medical Center and various hospital fellowships.

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.

He is now an oncologist at Lenox Hill Hospital as well as Chairman of the Urology Department and Chief of the Robotic Surgery Department. He is also a medical news correspondent for a major television company as well as a medical commentator for a well-known New York radio station.

Individuals who would like more background and updates on this well-known doctor can follow him on his personal blog. Here he answers health and well being questions of the general public and posts articles on everything from dieting to the various forms of cancer. His blog covers many more issues than just prostate cancer and he publishes continuously to update his followers on what is going on in the medical arena.

This physician's story is even more inspiring in that he came from humble beginnings but took his intelligence, motivation and drive and turned it into something wonderful. The lives he has saved are numerous and the patients grateful for his contributions to medical science. His life work and passion will continue to have ongoing effects on the medical world.
