Excellent care everything was explained during office visits. After surgery I was able to walk . Pain was not noticeable . He has the pain control process set to an excellent result. Perfect results after surgery. Excellent care while in the Einstein Hospital. I thought I would have trouble walking, not so I was able to walk to my vehicle and go to the pharmacy to purchase the medications the next day. While in my hospital room I was able to stand and walk to use the bathroom . Everything went perfect. I received all information needed to feel stress free process. Dr. Simhan is a excellent Surgeon. He makes you feel comfortable gives you all needed information about the procedure . Stress free result. Thanks from a great full veteran.

Dr. Simhan preformed a Urethroplasty with a Buccal Graft. It sounds painful, especially when you know what it means. I received 15 stitches with the Urethroplasty and an inch by inch section taken out of my mouth cheek from the operation. I was not in any pain during my recovery. Today I went back for my three month check up and the operation was a success. Your in good hands with Dr. Simhan. And, he will laugh at a joke you tell. Mike B.

Dr. Simhan is a very talented Dr. So glad I found him to fix me after a complication of a hysterectomy occurred. Every department I went to at Einstein from admissions to radiology to OR to surgical floor all said the same thing "You are in good hands" & they were right!

Very personable, he memorized my case file and recited it to me verbatim. He took time to explain my situation and provide alternatives for me to consider. He conveniently arranged for 3 imaging procedures to be done in the morning before our appointment. Very efficient way to go...
