    Tammer Yamany, MD, joined Northwell Health in 2020 as a urologist at Lenox Hill Hospital, where he diagnoses and treats a variety of prostate, bladder and kidney conditions. He specializes in managing benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), or enlarged prostate, which can cause urinary problems. He offers a wide variety of medical and surgical treatments that make it easier to urinate and improve a patient's quality of life. He is one of the few surgeons in New York City to perform laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP or ThuLEP), which is the most effective and durable surgery for BPH that can be performed entirely through the urethra without incisions.Dr. Yamany routinely sees patients who have an elevated PSA (prostate specific antigen) level and are concerned about having prostate cancer. To diagnose potential cancer, he performs transperineal fusion prostate biopsy, which combines MRI and ultrasound imaging technology to direct a needle through the perineum and into the prostate to take targeted tissue samples. This newer technique allows him to avoid inserting the needle through the rectal wall, decreasing the risk of infection.Dr. Yamany manages a wide variety of urologic conditions in addition to the two listed above. He performs evaluation for blood in the urine, which may lead to the diagnosis and treatment of bladder cancer. He treats kidney stones and obstruction, bladder stones, and bladder conditions that impact the ability to urinate, in both women and men.I always wanted to be a doctor, even as a kid, he says. It's definitely been the right career path for me. I get to see how the treatments I offer can really help people with their quality of life in addition to the life-prolonging treatments we offer for urologic cancers. Dr. Yamany earned his medical degree from Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons, where he became interested in urology because of the range of procedures doctors perform on a given day. He then completed a residency in urology at Massachusetts General Hospital.At Lenox Hill, Dr. Yamany takes a team-based approach to care. Depending on a patient's diagnosis, he may collaborate with nephrologists, medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, and urologic oncologists to decide upon the best evidence-based treatment options. Dr. Yamany is an assistant professor at Donald and Barbara Zucker School of Medicine at Hofstra/Northwell and a member of the American Urologic Association.For Dr. Yamany, the best part of this job is the relationship he forms with patients. I genuinely like taking the time talk to people about their care and getting to know them, he says. And I love hearing how the treatments I've offered them have impacted their lives. Dr. Yamany is rated as an Advanced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Enlarged Prostate (BPH). His top areas of expertise are Enlarged Prostate (BPH), Obstructive Uropathy, UPJ Obstruction, Prostatectomy, and Ureteroscopy.

    "Prior to becoming a Northwell Health Partner on April 18, 2022, Dr. J. Francois Eid founded in 2001, Advanced Urological Care, PC, a boutique Urology practice entirely focused on the treatment of advanced erectile and voiding dysfunction with implants.Born in Brussels, Dr. Eid received his Bachelor of Science in Bio-Engineering from Brown University in 1976 and his M.D. from The Medical College of Cornell University in 1982. He completed his urological training at the New York Presbyterian Hospital and Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in 1988. Prior to founding Advanced Urological Care in 2001, Dr. Eid was Associate Professor in the Departments of Urology at both Weill-Cornell and Sloan Kettering (cf. above).

    What is the definition of Enlarged Prostate (BPH)?

    The prostate is a gland that produces some of the fluid that carries sperm during ejaculation. The prostate gland surrounds the urethra, the tube through which urine passes out of the body.

    An enlarged prostate means the gland has grown bigger. Prostate enlargement happens to almost all men as they get older.

    An enlarged prostate is often called benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). It is not cancer, and it does not raise your risk for prostate cancer.

    When should I see an Enlarged Prostate (BPH) doctor near Astoria, NY?

    There are various reasons why you may want to see a specialist, such as: 

    • Your primary care provider recommends it. 
    • Your condition requires expert knowledge and specialized care. 
    • Your symptoms persist or worsen despite treatment. 
    • You need specialized testing or procedures. 
    • You want a second opinion.  

    What should I consider when choosing an Enlarged Prostate (BPH) doctor near Astoria, NY?

    It’s important to see a provider with expertise in your specific condition. Each provider profile in MediFind’s doctor database includes information on which conditions they treat, years of experience, research contributions, languages spoken, insurance plans accepted, and more.  

    How does MediFind rank Enlarged Prostate (BPH) doctors near Astoria, NY?

    MediFind’s rankings are based on a variety of data sources, such as the number of articles a doctor has published in medical journals, participation in clinical trials and industry conferences, as well as the number of patients that provider sees for a given condition. Note that MediFind’s provider database is not based on user reviews, and providers do not pay to be included in the database. 

    What types of insurance are accepted by Enlarged Prostate (BPH) doctors near Astoria, NY?

    Most profiles in MediFind’s doctor database include a list of insurance plans accepted by that provider. However, it’s a good idea to contact the provider’s office to make sure they still accept your insurance, then doublecheck by contacting your insurance plan to confirm they’re in network. 

    How can I book an appointment online with an Enlarged Prostate (BPH) doctor near Astoria, NY?

    MediFind offers direct scheduling for certain providers using the “Request Appointment” button on that provider’s profile. If the schedule option is not available for a provider, tap the red “Show Phone Number” button on their profile to get their contact information. If you prefer to find providers who offer online scheduling, select “Schedules online” under the “Availability” category of the filter feature on the left side of the Enlarged Prostate (BPH) doctor search results page. 

    Why is it important to get a second opinion from a different Enlarged Prostate (BPH) doctor?

    Second opinions are an opportunity to confirm a diagnosis and its root cause, learn about alternative treatment options, or simply gain peace of mind. Many people, especially those with serious diagnoses, get second opinions so they can understand all their options and make informed decisions, so don’t hesitate to get one if you have any doubts or need more information or clarification regarding your care. Note that some insurance plans require second opinions, while others don’t cover second opinions, so be sure to confirm with your insurance provider first.   

    How can I prepare for my appointment with an Enlarged Prostate (BPH) doctor near Astoria, NY?

    Prepare for your appointment by gathering the following items: 

    • Copies of medical records (dating back at least one year) 
    • Your medical history, including illnesses, medical conditions, surgeries, and other doctors you see 
    • Family history of disease 
    • List of current prescription drugs, over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal remedies or supplements including names and doses 
    • Allergies to medications, food, latex, insects, etc.  
    • List of questions and concerns 
    • Your insurance card 

    You might also contact the provider’s office to see if they offer transportation or childcare services or if you’re allowed to bring a loved one for support or to take notes during your visit. 

    What questions should I ask my Enlarged Prostate (BPH) doctor?

    Here are some sample questions: 

    • Can you explain in simple terms what this condition is and how it’s treated? 
    • What symptoms or side effects should I watch for? 
    • What tests will be involved, and when can I expect results? 
    • Are there other specialists I need to see? 
    • What’s the best way to reach you if I have follow-up questions? 

    How can I learn about the latest clinical trials and research advances my Enlarged Prostate (BPH) doctor may know about?

    MediFind’s Clinical Trials tool asks you a series of questions to help you narrow down your search by health condition, age, gender, location, how far you’re willing to travel, and more. Each question you answer filters down the number of trials until you find the ones that are most relevant to you. 

    MediFind’s Latest Advances tool features summaries of recent articles published in medical journals. We use cutting-edge technology to scour medical publication databases for the latest research advancements on any given condition, then we simplify this information in a way that’s useful and easy to understand. 

    Can I filter my search to show male or female Enlarged Prostate (BPH) doctors near Astoria, NY?

    Look for the filter feature on the left side of the Enlarged Prostate (BPH) doctor search results page.
