Ok, I'm going to tell you my story. It was a true blessing in disguise, it was through a round about way, I went to see my primary care doctor for a uncontrollable cough that would keep me up all night long. He prescribed a cough med that contained Codeine and unbeknownst to me because I have BPH the cough medication completely shut down my plumbing system. I couldn't poop or pee voluntarily for weeks. So along with 2 other prescribed antibiotics - I was constipated. I had to take 3x3 (total of 9) Ducolax laxatives and so many fresh squeezed veggie juices from the juice bar to help with my pooping. To deal with my peeing problem I ran to Dr. Ben Peng's office and he inserted a catheter to empty my full bladder then he took it out. Well, the very next day my bladder was ready to explode again so Dr. Peng inserted a catheter again to relieve me but this time he kept it in attached to a plastic bag strapped to my thigh. After 48 hrs, I complained it was too much a hassle and I wanted it removed so he took it out and he inserted a stent aka. The Spanner and he prescribed 1 Rapaflo per day. 2 weeks later Dr. Peng removed the stent and advised me I should get the Urolift procedure done. OMG! I was so Over this Enlarged Prostate thing I decided to go for it and it was done in his office not in a hospital, w/ local anesthesia and bearable pain it was completely done in about 30 mins. Ok, after the procedure it took 3-4 days to adjust to the post-op soreness and the urgency to pee but I got through it. I wholeheartedly highly recommend the Urolift procedure because everything is ABSOLUTELY GREAT NOW!!!! Truthfully and honestly, it's like I never ever had an enlarged prostate. I can empty 95% - 100% of my bladder with each pee now and the urine stream is at full force and I'm peeing like when I was 25 y.o. Also, very importantly I'm sleeping straight through the night w/o having to get out of bed even once and during the day if I pee before leaving home I don't need to pee again for 3-4 hours and I can take long drives again. This Urolift has given me my life back. I even played tennis last weekend. So I wholeheartedly highly recommend Dr. Ben Peng to do the Urolift procedure. I have the greatest confidence in Dr. Ben Peng. He's a Board Certified Urologist and located at 168 Canal St., NY, NY. So if you're truly sick and tired of dealing with your enlarged prostate symptoms then don't wait, you'll be so happy with your decision to get the Urolift done.

My PCP conducted a PSA test and DRE. Results of the PSA and DRE indicated a likelihood of cancer. I consulted Dr. Peng for his advice and counsel. He explained the possibilities and requested that I have a biopsy to confirm cancer. I had a positive biopsy. Dr. Peng then recommended discussion with a surgeon and radiation specialist doctor, referring me to renowned experts. Dr. Peng prepared me for the options that the surgeon and specialist would discuss. Dr. Peng indicated his belief that surgery would be the best option for me. However, he wanted me to get expert advice to make an informed decision. In addition, he filled out the Memorial Sloan Kettering prostate cancer predictive nomograms. He forwarded the information to me. It had the effect reducing my stress and anxiety. Discussions with the surgeon and radiation specialist confirmed everything that Dr. Peng had told me. Dr. Peng has provided quick, insightful and accurate information to me during each step of the process. His knowledge, professional demeanor and compassion have helped me through this unexpected and difficult situation. He has responded quickly to all questions I have asked, even responding during his personal time. I am appreciative of his detailed advice and emotional support. I have never had another doctor respond or provide the level of counsel/care I received from Dr. Peng. I highly recommend Dr. Peng! read more

I have been a patient of Doctor Peng since 2019 and have found him to be charismatic, personable, compassionate, and most importantly, a good listener all the time during each and every visit. He has the ability to make me feel at ease when performing biopsy on my prostate, with a personal follow-up call next morning. Two years later, he simply chatted with me when giving me cystoscopy. Before I realized, the procedure was completed, with me hardly feel a thing. When it comes to maintenance drugs for my BPH (after the biopsy), Doctor Peng explained to me the benefits of combination therapy. When I recently told him I would like to replace one of the medicines with another drug on the market (I did some homework before I made the proposal), he keeps an open mind as always, and agrees to my idea providing that I would go back for a small test in one month just to validate the efficacy of the new therapy. As the result stands, the combination of three medicines will offer me the optimal benefits of mitigating my LUTS symptom induced by BPH. All I want to say to Doctor Peng is: Thank you for listening to my concerns. You have made those seemingly invasive procedures a lot less uncomfortable. Visiting your office has become a rather pleasant experience because you and your team are working together as ONE caring team! read more

Dr. Peng is my urologist for the past few years. Recently I had a few kidney stones. I passed some but the last one was big and passed into my bladder. I had to get a lithotripsy done to break up the stone and flush it out of my bladder. I went to the hospital and Dr. Peng had explained the procedure in advance. It was to be done under general anesthesia. Before the surgery, Dr. Peng carefully explained the procedure to my father who had accompanied me. His staff explained what each of their roles were during surgery and were very nice in calming my nerves. Dr. Peng performed a successful lithotripsy. He then went back to my father and told him I was in recovery and explained how big the stone was and how all went well. Dr. Peng waited till I awoke from the anesthesia and spoke to me and told me everything went well and I was on the mend. I went to his office the next day to have a catheter removed that was inserted during surgery. I was accompanied by my mother who he met and explained what he had done and that I was doing excellent. Dr. Peng is an excellent urologist who cares about his patient's well being and is compassionate and takes the time to personally explain and calm family members about any procedure that is to be done. read more

2020 Dr Peng Recommendation I was a complicated case. After an abdominal ultrasound, my initial diagnosis was extensive hydronephrosis with obstructive BPH and a bladder 3 times normal size. I came to my first visit with Dr. Peng from Suffolk County 50 miles away. When I arrived at Dr. Peng's office, I had been wearing a foley catheter for over 6 weeks. The previous urologist only provided vague responses to my questions. The first urologist had to perform a cystoscopy to catheterize me and did not have a definitive plan to address my situation. I was very in need of a second opinion. After performing a thorough exam and taking my history, Dr. Peng clearly explained my options and offered a very clear course of action. I had a successful, in-office Urolift procedure, followed by a modified TURP. Dr Peng is an exceptionally skilled urologist who is that rare combination of technical expertise with an informing, calm demeanor. He took the time to answer all my questions and reassured me that I would have the desired result. Thanks to Dr. Peng's surgical skills, I have had positive results with a significantly reduced recovery period. I highly recommend Dr. Peng for any urologic needs. read more

Rezum reversed practically all of my BPH symptoms with no noticeable side effects! I had Rezum at Dr. Peng's office in January 2021. Prior to this procedure, I couldn't be far from a bathroom as I had to go fairly often. This was particularly challenging early in the covid pandemic as it was difficult to find bathrooms that I could use. I was having these symptoms despite already taking medications. The procedure itself did involve some painful moments, but they were brief, while steam is being injected into the prostate. The procedure itself lasts only about 15 minutes. After the procedure, you have to wear a foley catheter for a few days to a week. Once the foley has been removed, it's just a matter of time until the BPH symptoms start improving. In my case, I noticed a dramatic improvement at week 10. I was no longer thinking about where the bathrooms were, and I could go for several hours without needing to go to the bathroom. I am currently tapering myself off of my medications, and I am expecting not to need them anymore. I strongly recommend the Rezum procedure for anyone suffering from BPH symptoms, and Dr. Peng is an excellent urologist and I highly recommend him. read more

Dr Peng undoubtedly is one of the better, if not the best, doctors I've been a patient of. I actually know of him years ago when he treated my mother. Now, I have a urination issue, so I visited him. Being a patient, bedside manners is the 1st observation, until I'm evaluated by the doctor and treated. He was friendly and warm coming into my area. Dr Peng got into the issue(s) immediately, professionally, and most-competently IMO. I just felt perhaps he could have given me a little more "explanation" of his observations and advice. But.... not complaining. I didn't give a 5-star rating is because I find that his staff somehow don't seem to be as attentive and caring. I handed in a urine sample. A staffer seemed to me fearing to open up the cap. So, she instructed me to take the bottle, open the cap and place the bottled urine on a table. I thought that's part of her job once I handed it in. The other staff also may consider paying some attention to interacting with the patients more cordially. It was warm and a little stuffy in the office, but I felt a little coolness, aloof kind of sensation, somewhat contrary to the sunshiny Dr Peng. read more

This is a five star m.d. by any measure. I worked in a hospital for two years and I believe I know a competent physician when I see one. Dr. Peng is very competent and knowledgeable. Aside from that, he has a good sense of humor, and he is comfortable in his own awareness of himself. On my first visit, about 15 months ago, I described my symptoms (BPH) to him, and asked how we could proceed to resolve my condition. He prescribed Silodosin, and after several months, he added Finesteride and Cialis (5 mg). The Finesteride got the prostate down to a manageable size, and about four months ago he performed a Rezum procedure which destoyed more of the prostate cells through heat ablation. Long story short, I no longer have to get up 3 or 4 times a night. Also, I can sit through a movie without having to run to the restroom. I have appreciated his patience and willingness to proceed in a conservative matter to resolve my situation. Remember though, while this worked well for me, your situation may be milder or more servere than mine was. The bottom line is, you are in good hands with Dr. Peng. read more

This review is long overdue, but had to be shared. Dr. Peng came highly recommended by my PCP when I was searching for a Urologist to perform my vasectomy. I don't think I need to elaborate on how much concern and apprehension went into my thought process, but after my initial consultation with Dr. Peng I honestly felt I (we) were in good hands. I'm in a very competitive flag (sometimes tackle) football league, and play every Sunday of the season. Football is one of my greatest joys, so I was naturally disappointed (at the time) when I learned my procedure was scheduled on a Friday. Rhetorically, I asked Dr. Peng if this meant I wouldn't be able to play on Sunday and I could immediately tell the answer was a hell no by his facial reaction. Well, Dr. Peng must be part Urologist, part magician, because I managed to join my compadres on the football field less than 48 hours later and played as competitively as I always do. No exaggeration whatsoever! I felt no pain, no discomfort, or restriction. I, too, was amazed and thoroughly impressed. Thank you Dr. Peng! read more

I have been seeing Dr. Peng for over 27 years. To me, Dr. Peng is not only a doctor, but also a friend who always treats me with respect. He also asks me about my family every time I see him. I am pleased to tell people my story. I was involved in a car accident in upstate NY about 38 years ago. In that accident, my bladder was badly ruptured and a surgery was done. As a result, a stricture was developed in my urethra, which made me very difficult to urinate. After the surgery, I was then referred to Dr. Peng for recovery. Dr. Peng used the dilating technique to open up my stricture and now my stricture is gone. And I am now able to urinate without pain and enjoy good health. I also have the enlarged prostate gland issue which is under control under his care. Dr. Peng is a very skillful, knowledgeable, compassionate, and intelligent doctor. He is always ready to solve any problem you may have. I am very blessed to have him as my urologist. I think he is the best doctor in New York. I won't hesitate to recommend you to him for any urology problems. Weng Lo read more

I previously left a review regarding Dr. Peng and as I said there are not enough words to express how kind and understanding this doctor is, not only is he knowledgeable and professional Dr. Peng is beyond being on top of his profession it is so very rare to find a doctor like him, Dr Peng is a gem and a godsend, I researched and researched and found him in Chinatown Manhattan I was in desperate need to find a urologist that would thoroughly understand what was happening with me. I am so grateful to have this doctor he is so concerned with your well-being .. I had a Bulk amid procedure under his care which I highly recommend, I was a little nervous about the procedure but Dr Peng reassured me that it would be fine My experience at the Presbyterian hospital was remarkable to say the least, I'm feeling so great and grateful I highly recommend this doctor and the staff is outstanding My utmost regards to the staff for also being very patient and understanding with me.. Thank you soon much Dr.Peng for your care and understanding.. your patient, Melinda LaMar read more

I have been having elevated PSA since 2/2017. Upon my retirement in 2019, my top priority is to tackle the issue. To do it right, I need to look for a urologist with whom I feel comfortable. I find Dr. Peng to be charismatic who addresses my concerns with confidence. He communicated with me in a soothing way and with small talks while performing medical procedures on me. During the four visits to his office which is staffed with friendly and experienced people, Dr. Peng used a step-by-step approach from DRE to urinalysis test, to 4K Score test that ultimately led to the biopsy while always maintained calm, professional and sympathetic. He even checked on me with a call day after the biopsy. The entire experience hit a high note when it has been confirmed that I have been prostate cancer-free all these years! From this point on, I will only need to pay Dr. Peng a semi-annual visit on my BPH condition. And I just can't wait to see him and his wonderful staff this December. read more

Dr Peng possesses that rare ability of being incredibly competent, kind and empathetic. I have be seeing Dr. Peng for several years now and recently had to have a kidney stone removed. He visited me during pre-op, made sure I had everything I needed and explained the procedure in detail. Ok, so lots of doctors do that, right? The difference is Dr. Peng is sincere and respectful of each patient. He spends time with you. Oh, did I also mention he clearly is one of the most competent doctors I have ever met? Why else would I travel 2 hrs. each time I have an appointment? So here I am less than a day after my surgery and at 9:05am he calls personally to check in and spend 20 minutes on the phone reviewing the procedure and follow up measures. So simply put, the next time you are looking for an urologist, please don't hesitate to seek out Dr. Peng. I promise you that he will be your doctor for life. read more

I would like to express how pleased I was with the professional service that Dr. Peng and his staff provided. I would not hesitate to go back or refer them to others who need any medical procedure and surgery. It was good to be treated with professionalism and care. He and his staff went above and beyond their duties to make sure I had the best care possible. Dr. Peng made me feel that I was in safe hands, has a great sense of humor, and I am truly grateful for everything. I appreciated his follow-ups and willingness to address every question I had prior to and after the medical surgery. I enthusiastically recommend Dr. Peng to anyone. Just another big THANK YOU for the great care. He just did a great job in explaining what was going to happen, which indeed happened, and made me feel comfortable. Happy 2019! read more

I recently became a patient of Dr. Peng, and can attest to many of the positive sentiments expressed in numerous other reviews. Dr. Peng is very personable and empathetic. His confidence in his expertise is evident and he does not exude a sense of aloofness or distance typical of other doctors. During a challenging period when I dealt with a kidney stone, Dr. Peng provided invaluable and reassuring support. His willingness to take the time to connect directly with me is commendable and greatly appreciated. Navigating the administrative aspects of my visit was efficient and hassle-free, thanks largely to the bilingual capability of his staff. All in all, the experience was a positive impression and I would highly recommend Dr. Peng to anyone seeking a doctor who combines expertise with genuine compassion. read more

Dr. Benjamin Peng is the understudy of my urologist of 29 years who has since retired. I can say unequivocally that Dr. Peng's modern approach to medical procedures is far superior to that of his predecessor. Furthermore he is constantly endeavoring to make refinements to improve his patient's health and make office visits less frequent. He understands that being a doctor is about taking care of people rather than status in life or driving a Mercedes. His fees are also very reasonable in today's market. He is a personable man who, in addition to health and medicine, can have a conversation about any topic. I would give Dr. Peng the highest recommendation in his field and I can only hope that he will continue to practice medicine for many more years because he will not be easy to replace. read more

It has been 3 years since I've started visiting Dr. Peng and I'm very happy under his care. I had another urologist for my prostate infection before I found Dr. Peng and the comparison was like day and night. My other doctor ran 2 inconclusive needle biopsies & many blood tests. He couldn't determine if I had cancer for more than a year of visits . Then when I saw Dr Peng's name appeared in the New York Times' list of top Urologists I decided to pay him a visit. I found him to be a confident & knowledgeable doctor just speaking to him. He immediately gave me a prostate blood test and explained my condition in lay terms. The blood test for cancer was negative and he prescribed prostate supplements. Now, it's just a matter of keeping abreast of my prostate status development. . read more

I have been seeing Dr. Peng for nearly a year for various issues associated with being a 64 year old male. I chose Dr Peng initially because of both his academic background and professional accomplishments. From the first moment I entered his office in Chinatown, both he and his staff could not be more welcoming and attentive. Unlike many specialists, I was pleasantly surprised by the short wait time to see the doctor. Most importantly, his direct but human approach instantly put me at ease and minimized any worry. He is a perfectionist in both his diagnostic testing and performing medical procedures, either in-office or in his affiliated hospital(s). He has earned both my trust and loyalty. I strongly recommend Dr. Peng if you are seeking a brilliant urologist. Bob K. read more
