“I’m not the best with doctors visits and this office is warm, caring and a great choice for someone who hates appointments in general. Dr Yammany was a great source of information, literally was always a step ahead of the game and had a great bedside manner. Informative, helpful and wanting to give me the best diagnosis. His suggestions for treatment and aftercare have been fantastic and all the tests I needed and have needed since have been done with lovely people and without crazy wait times. The office itself is clean, with friendly staff and overall was a great experience in which he deserves 5*s! Being such an intimate and personal area I am thrilled to find a doctor who I feel I can trust, has time to listen and certainly wants to make sure I get the care I deserve and receive correctly! I will recommend him and keep returning as he and his team are a great fit for me.”

About Dr. Tammer Yamany

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 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 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 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. 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. 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.

Dr. Yamany is an excellent doctor. I felt like he listened to my concerns, and was very thorough and understanding when considering treatment options. I was in the waiting room for less than 5 minutes, and the whole appointment took about 30 minutes. Only a couple downsides. The office is extremely crowded in terms of layout. It was really hard to find the entrance -- the main entrance for the office is not what is listed on Zocdoc. Lastly, the medical assistant who brought me in and took vitals was pretty incompetent and seemed totally out of it. All the other staff, however, were excellent.
This urologist is one of the best I've seen. He was very patient and listened well. Very friendly and lots of warm smiles. Very rare to find this kind of bedside manner in a doctor nowadays. Highly recommended.

It was my first time at this place, i was amazed by everything really clean and the staff very friendly and professional everything else and it was very nice. Just one minor error with my date of birth and my home address. Other than that, everything was fine. I highly recommend this place.
Verified patient
Amazing! Knowledgeable! 10/10 recommend!
Verified patient
Some doctors, especially ‘specialists’ can create an uncomfortable space fueled, I think, by arrogance which makes it difficult to communicate one’s concerns. Dr. Yamany was an exemplar of a sensitive, knowledgeable, empathetic doctor. His bedside manner was easy and comforting. As a black male approaching 71 years, this was a refreshing experience. We had an easy conversation about my health that was comfortable. Thank you, my good doctor!
