Dr. David M Kaufman, MD

Dr. Kaufman is one of the best doctors who I have ever met, and I highly recommend him. He not only possesses exceptional expertise and judgment; he also respects the importance of the individual patient’s symptoms and history. Prior to meeting Dr. Kaufman, I endured many years of misdiagnoses and painful, unsuccessful treatments for my symptoms. While the other doctors were applying a conventional diagnosis and recommending traditional treatments, Dr. Kaufman understood that my symptoms were chronic and recurrent, and therefore warranted a different diagnosis and approach. After working with Dr. Kaufman for only a short period of time, I am feeling better than I have felt in 20 years! I am confident that with his management of my symptoms, I will have the long-term relief that other doctors were unable to provide. It is rare to find a physician with his unique combination of experience, wisdom, and compassion; I highly recommend Dr. Kaufman.

I had an excellent experience with Dr Kaufman and his staff. Dr Kaufman performed a vasectomy for me. He explained things very clearly before the procedure, performed the procedure quickly, efficiently and painlessly, and personally followed up lab results after the procedure. I couldn't have asked for better.

I have been struggling with UTI-symptoms for two months, and I came into his office in tears because I'd been told by other doctors my possible condition was incurable. Within 5 minutes he diagnosed me with a totally different issue, and set me on a treatment plan that will hopefully have me feeling better very shortly. Thank you Dr. Kaufman!

I have suffered from Interstitial Cystitis (IC)/Bladder Pain Syndrome (BPS) for most of my life. I tried different treatments prescribed by various Urologists but none were successful in treating my condition. I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer six years ago and underwent a Mastectomy and Chemotherapy. I chose to have my breast reconstructed using the skin removed from my pelvic area. Unfortunately, this seemed to aggravate/irritate my bladder which caused my IC/BPS to become unbearable. The remedies I tried in the past no longer seemed to work. I tried other remedies that I found on-line which also did not work. Since my cancer surgeries, I desperately attempted to find a doctor/specialist who could determine a course of treatment for my condition but none were able to do so. After extensive research, and through a stroke of luck, I eventually was able to locate a Urologist (specialist/expert in the treatment of Interstitial Cystitis) - Dr. David Kaufman. Dr. Kaufman was able to thoroughly diagnose my condition and prescribed/tailored a course of treatment specific to my situation. Since being treated by Dr. Kaufman, my IC/BPS condition has greatly improved. Dr. Kaufman is a competent, kind, patient and compassionate individual who cares about his patient’s well-being. I cannot thank him enough for improving the quality of my life. I highly recommend him.

When I went to see Dr. Kaufman I had been in severe pain for 5 months, seen 3 different doctors, was on 6 different medications and had been diagnosed with IC . From the start Dr. Kaufman was compassionate and confident he could help me . At my first appointment he explained to me I had been misdiagnosed. With Dr Kaufman’s treatment plan I was feeling so much better in 3 days. Dr Kaufman truly gave me my life back and I couldn’t be more grateful.

Dr. David Kaufman is genuinely a nice guy and a great doctor. Since my very first appointment, I felt very welcomed and instantly felt comfortable discussing my symptoms. Upon discussion, Doc instantly diagnosed my issues and recommended specific treatment / medicine that would help. Three weeks later for my post follow up, I had greater results than imagined. In addition, if I ever had questions or needed a refill on my prescriptions, Dr. Kaufman would instantly answer my questions online and/ or submit the prescription to my pharmacy. I definitely recommend Dr. Kaufman to those seeking a great Urologist and a great person to open up too.

Dr Kaufman is the best Urologist in NYC. I was dealing with a debilitating prostate disorder and saw 5 urologists before him. He immeadiately realized it as an infection and treated it as such. He took the time to explain/run testing and prescribe the proper treatments. He will go the extra mile for you without question. Wish I would have seen him sooner is all I can say.

Dr. Kaufman is super knowledgeable, approachable, and pragmatic. He and his staff are also really friendly and efficient. Really happy I found him.

Dr David Kaufman's treatment of my non-invasive bladder cancer has been superb. I always feel satisfied that his qualifications as a surgeon and follow-up doctor (for cystoscopies, testosterone treatment for more than 7 years) are unquestionable. His personal communication is always clear and helpful. I feel secure that he is extremely well-qualified. I feel fortunate to be under his care.

I found doctor Kaufman’s services extremely helpful to our needs. My wife and I had a difficult time trying to conceive our first child. My wife went through three IUI procedures that did not work. Doctor Kaufman has recommended a varicocelectomy procedure to me after which we were able to successfully conceive our first child. I strongly recommend to anyone who is having fertility issue to go see doctor Kaufman. LM

This doctor is beyond bad. My husband is a surgeon (in another field) and I know of what I speak. Patient-blaming (for genetic disease), physically aggressive, borderline inappropriate (walked back into room before I was dressed and kept talking). I could put up with the horrible bedside manner if he had a good reputation. He does not.

Dr Kaufman got to the bottom of my frequent urination problem that I had suffered with for six months. I had been to six other urologists. He was able to diagnose it as pelvic floor dysfunction and I am now going to physical therapy and on the road to recovery. I am so thankful to him and would highly recommend him.

OMG! I am 66 years old and have finally found a doctor that could handle my issues and was determined to find a solution. Dr. Kaufman even dealt on several occasions with my insurance company, when they were being less than effective. I highly recommend Dr. Kaufman. No lie!

Dr. Kaufman is truly a one of a kind physician. He is not only a knowledgeable doctor but a real mensch. I have never been so comfortable with a physician in my life. He performed my prostate problem and I am now enjoing living again. I owe him my life.

I found Dr. Kaufman through these physician review sites, and I am glad to give back and recommend others to Dr. Kaufman. Dr. Kaufman performed a vasectomy on me. He provided a clear explanation of the consequences of the procedure and a detailed list of instructions for how to prepare for the procedure and recovery. The procedure itself was quick and professional. It was clear he had performed this procedure many times, and had plenty of great jokes lined up that had me and my partner laughing. I contacted Dr. Kaufman a few times after the procedure via email, and he responded within hours in a tone that matched his warm demeanor in his office. Simply put, Dr. Kaufman is one of the most professional and personable doctors I have ever met. Dr. Kaufman is far above and beyond almost every doctor I have seen in my life, and I full heartedly recommend him.

Dr. Kaufman is amazing. After seeing several urologists, I was desperate for answers. He listened, did a pelvic exam (the first urologist to do so!) and proposed a concrete plan of action. He was also the only doctor to recommend pelvic floor therapy, which did wonders for me. I am forever grateful.

Dr. Kaufman gave me the diagnosis and explained my options very clearly and kindly. New York is full of mediocre, uncaring doctors - Dr. Kaufman is not one of them. Recommended!

Dr. Kaufman is an outstanding urologist and ultimately the medical professional who helped me the most after pain from a hernia repair procedure. I had previously seen him due to other pelvic floor issues and he, unlike anyone else, was able to connect the dots, make plans for treatment, and offer realistic hope that I would get better. His beside manner is excellent, he is efficient, and also listens carefully and gives you all the time that you need. Outstanding.

I have been going to Dr Kaufman for 5 years and highly recommend him. He never pushes you into a decision or expensive procedure but in turn offers information and options and allows you to make a choice that works best for you. I've had an enlarged prostate for 15 years and have been under the care of 3 other urologists. Dr Kaufman has been the best by far. I ended up having a TULP procedure and it has changed my life (for the better) and all thanks to Dr Kaufman.

A true kind snd caring doctor , that always answers emails and cares about his patient , I've seen 4. Urologist and know one knew what was wrong with me , they didn't even examine me ! On visit with dr Kaufman when he examined me he knew right away what my problem was and wrote me a rx and I was on my way to feeling better , I thank god that I found him , great doctor
