He invented the Samadi Modified Advanced Robotic Treatment for prostate cancer surgeries. The technique was designed to replace open surgery with a minimally invasive alternative using the da Vinci Surgical System.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://midhudson.mdnews.com/experience-matters-david-b-samadi-md-%E2%80%94-advancing-robotic-prostate-surgeries-worldwide|title=Experience Matters: David B.

Dr. Samadi has also been investigated for performing concurrent surgeries, and his department has been cited for inadequate training of residents. [https://www.bostonglobe.com/metro/2017/03/12/star-surgeon-scrutinized-concurrent-procedures/YgyMjLLbxHjIZIbWCNtOMO/story.html] In this article, he was reported that he " is under investigation by New York state regulators for allegedly improperly double-booking surgeries." In other words, Samadi was in another operating room with another patient when he was supposed to be performing an operation. The article quotes several patients who confirmed that they were unaware of this "double-booking" where an uncredentialled physician performs a surgery under the doctor's name


In November 2019, Lenox Hill agreed to pay $12.3 million to settle a Medicare fraud lawsuit brought because Samadi performed multiple surgeries at the same time, leaving patients unsupervised by a urologist when he left one operating room for another; billing for unnecessary procedures; and inadequately supervised residents. The suit was the result of an investigation by the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, [[Geoffrey Berman]], who characterized the approach as "assembly line medicine" in violation of Medicare and hospital regulations.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://nypost.com/2019/11/08/lenox-hill-hospital-will-shell-out-12-3m-for-submitting-fraudulent-claims-to-medicare/|title=Lenox Hill Hospital will shell out $12.3M for submitting fraudulent claims to Medicare|last=Saul|first=Emily|date=2019-11-08|website=New York Post|language=en|access-date=2019-11-09}}</ref>
Samadi is a member of the [[American Urological Association]] and the [[American Medical Association]]. Samadi is included in Castle Connolly Medical's America's Top Doctors and New York Magazine's Best Doctors List.<ref name=Bloomberg/>


Patients were distressed to learn that Samadi was not actually performing their surgical procedures and was often not in the operating room, according to an investigation by ''[[the Boston Globe]]''.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.bostonglobe.com/metro/2017/03/12/star-surgeon-scrutinized-concurrent-procedures/YgyMjLLbxHjIZIbWCNtOMO/story.html|title=Star surgeon is scrutinized on concurrent procedures - The Boston Globe|website=BostonGlobe.com|language=en-US|access-date=2019-11-09}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |last=Saltzman |first=Jonathan |date=October 5, 2017 |title=Federal prosecutors launch investigation of prominent surgeon who double-booked operations |url=https://www.boston.com/news/local-news/2017/10/05/federal-prosecutors-launch-investigation-of-prominent-surgeon-who-double-booked-operations/ |work=[[The Boston Globe]] |via=[[Boston.com]]|access-date=October 16, 2023}}</ref>

==Controversial comments on health insurance==
On August 27, 2013, Samadi appeared as a guest on a segment of the ''[[Fox & Friends]]'' morning television show to discuss whether women should pay more than men for health insurance. At the time of the interview, the gender rating for insurance premiums<ref name="Slate_Health_Insurance">{{cite web | work= [[Slate (magazine)|Slate]] |first = Amanda | last = Marcotte | title= Fox News Worries That Women Are Taking Up Too Much Health Care | url = http://www.slate.com/blogs/xx_factor/2013/08/27/david_samadi_and_fox_and_friends_fret_that_women_are_getting_too_much_health.html | date = August 27, 2013 | accessdate = August 28, 2013}}</ref> was common practice among health insurers, with estimates that women paid about $1 billion a year more than men on health insurance.<ref name="Slate_Health_Insurance"/><ref name="NWLC_Health_Insurance">{{cite web | publisher = [[National Women's Law Center]] |first = Anna | last = Benyo | title= Dear Fox News, Women Should NOT Pay More for Health Insurance | url = http://www.nwlc.org/our-blog/dear-fox-news-women-should-not-pay-more-health-insurance | date = August 27, 2013 | accessdate = August 28, 2013}}</ref> However, under the provisions of the [[Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act#Effective January 1|Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, 2010]] (″Obamacare″), the practice was banned effective January 1, 2014,<ref name="NWLC_Health_Insurance"/> and this is considered to be one of the most uncontroversial provisions in the law.<ref name="Slate_Health_Insurance"/> Samadi argued that women pay more for health insurance, because they, for a number of reasons, tend to use the health care system more than men. He stated that women go through more preventive screening; they give birth; they have [[Mammography|mammograms]] and [[Pap test|PAP smears]]; men do not like to go to the doctor.<ref>{{cite AV media | people = Brian Kilmeade, Gretchen Carlson, David Samadi | date = August 27, 2013 | title = Fox and Friends | medium = TV | url = http://video.foxnews.com | archiveurl = https://archive.org/details/FOXNEWSW_20130827_100000_FOX_and_Friends# | archivedate = August 27, 2013 | minutes= 23:30–27:15 | location = New York| publisher = Fox News}}</ref> He said: "I just think that the whole system is not working well. I mean this is one of the examples, where men and women are totally different, there is a sex difference when it comes to the health care use, but I really think that if you pay for it, you are going to negotiate, finding out where is the best doctor, where you're going to get a better deal on all these X-rays etc., that's how you're gonna save money."<ref name="Slate_Health_Insurance"/>

David B. Samadi is an American urologist, a Newsmax contributor, and the former chairman of Urology and Chief of Robotic Surgery at Lenox Hill Hospital.

Biography

[edit]

Born and raised in the Persian Jewish community of Iran, at age 15 Samadi and his younger brother left in 1979 after the Iranian Revolution. They continued their education in Belgium and the UK before coming to the United States where Samadi completed high school in Roslyn, New York. He attended Stony Brook University and earned his degree in biochemistry. He earned his M.D from S.U.N.Y., Stony Brook School of Medicine, Stony Brook, New York in 1994, and completed his postgraduate training in urology at Montefiore Medical Center and in urology at Albert Einstein College of Medicine in 1996 and Montefiore Medical Center in 2000. He completed an oncology fellowship in urology at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in 2001 and a robotic radical prostatectomy fellowship at Henri Mondor Hospital Creteil in France under the mentorship of Professor Claude Abbou in 2002.[1]

Career

[edit]

He first practiced at Columbia Presbyterian Hospital, then joined the faculty of Mt. Sinai School of Medicine in 2007 where he became the Vice Chair of the Department of Urology, and the Chief of Robotics and Minimally Invasive Surgery.[2] In 2012, he was the highest paid doctor in New York City, earning $7.6 million.[3]

He invented the Samadi Modified Advanced Robotic Treatment for prostate cancer surgeries. The technique was designed to replace open surgery with a minimally invasive alternative using the da Vinci Surgical System.[4]

In November 2019, Lenox Hill agreed to pay $12.3 million to settle a Medicare fraud lawsuit brought because Samadi performed multiple surgeries at the same time, leaving patients unsupervised by a urologist when he left one operating room for another; billing for unnecessary procedures; and inadequately supervised residents. The suit was the result of an investigation by the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, Geoffrey Berman, who characterized the approach as "assembly line medicine" in violation of Medicare and hospital regulations.[5]

Patients were distressed to learn that Samadi was not actually performing their surgical procedures and was often not in the operating room, according to an investigation by the Boston Globe.[6][7]

In June 2020, He joined conservative news outlet Newsmax as a medical contributor.[8]

He is currently director of men's health at St. Francis Hospital in Flower Hill, New York.[9]
