Dr. Schiff is the epitome of a "Gentleman" besides being a fantastic Doctor. He has cared for both my wife and myself and his level of expertise is unsurpassed. While I was in the hospital under extreme circumstances my wife ran into him in the cafeteria. She explained my situation and without hesitation he was by my bedside ! Dr Schiff is a very rare combination of Superior Doctor and Wonderful Human Being. Both my wife and I are very fortunate to be under his care.

My name is Dan and if you really want to know the truth about Dr. Schiff you should read this.
I had five bladder surgeries within one year in Las Vegas, Nevada. I decided to make some changes and came specifically to New York to have my sixth surgery with Dr. Jonathan. Dr. Jonathan Schiff did my first surgery six years ago and the cancer cells stayed away for a while until they came back while with the last doctor in Las Vegas, it came back so frequently and I had to keep having the surgery every 3-4 months and realized I had to just put a stop to this and come back to New York to get this hopefully last surgery with Dr. Jonathan Schiff. He truly is so professional on so many different levels and you can just tell how purely he loves his profession. I am glad I came back to him and I feel like a total new person. It’s nice to feel like you are in the best hands possible.

Dear Dr. Jonathan,
I want to tell you that I really appreciate the professional surgery you preformed on me 2 weeks ago. It amazes me how easy and peaceful it feels when there is no blood in the urine with very few blood clots and most importantly, no pain. It is very important for me to let you know that there is a very big difference between the surgery you preformed on me compared to the Doctor from Las Vegas. He is a very nice man but does not compare to you and your work and I am thankful for you and appreciate all you have done for me.

Dr. Jonathan Schiff is a kind caring gentleman who cares about his patients. When I leave his office his parting words are, "call or email me if you have an issue. I'm always available on an emergency basis."

After having a bad experience with other doctors I feel I am in good hands and know he will be available if an emergency arises based on my past experiences with him.

It is one thing to review a doctor after one or two visits, but I would like to offer a review based on many years, three visits a year to Dr. Jonathan Schiff. As an octogenarian, having a skilled urologist is not a luxury, too many things can go wrong. My initial visit years ago was precipitated by a serious prostate-induced urinary blockage that was cleared up by a catheter and medication. In fact, permanently cleared up so that all my subsequent visits have been thorough checkups that give me peace of mind. But to me, this is the capper: every time I have a positive prognosis, Dr. Schiff displays a pleasure in communicating to me that I am healthy that I would expect from my family but not necessarily from my urologist. That is above and beyond bedside manner. Competence plus compassion. What more can you ask of your doctor?

I thank God everyday having Dr. Schiff. He is very professional and makes you feel like family with special TLC.

Dr.Schiff is my favorite doctor in the entire world! He has helped me through my chronic condition solving the problems. He has such a cheery personality and always seems happy. I would recommend him to anyone who is looking for the best.

My father at 95 years old had some prostate issues and could not urinate normally, needing a catheter to empty each time. He was otherwise in very good health but most doctors would not consider surgery to fix his issue with urinations because of his age. Dr. Schiff was willing to perform the surgery to give my father back his quality of life (having to use a catheter is not fun and really impacts a person's quality of life). My father got up very early that morning for the surgery. I came to the hospital at night to stay with him overnight.. I expected to find my father exhausted and in pain--and I thought he would probably sleep through the night and I would also be able to sleep on the cot in the hospital room. I found my father wide awake, talkative, in good spirits. I asked if he was in pain--he said no, I asked what pain killers he was on, he said none. He kept me up all night--chatting and very happy that I had come to spend the night with him. The next morning --he had to urinate on his own in order to be released to go home. It took some coaxing -he was pessimistic that he would be able to-- but that day he was able to urinate on his own and was "fixed" until he died at 99. Dr. Schiff is one of the few doctors that is not arrogant, not condescending to patients, takes the time to listen, and provides excellent medical care (and is just downright super nice). The story with my dad took place about 10 years ago, but I have recently met Dr. Schiff regarding another issue and it reminded me of how wonderfully he helped my Dad and figured I should recount this story as it might help someone.

A most compassionate, considerate, knowledgeable and skilled doctor. And everyone who I have recommended agrees.
