Dr Seckin

Dr. Seckin was welcoming, warm, professional and kind since my first appointment. Not only did he offer the best solution to address my problem; he was also concerned with my recovery, and I am happy to recommend him as an expert and eminence in diagnosing and treating endometriosis.

With all of the doctors I have seen, Dr. Seckin just takes the bar above them all. I was so discouraged after being turned away from another surgeon in April but told myself to keep fighting to get my life back. I knew I needed extensive surgery, I didn’t realize how bad it actually was though. So many doctors and peers tried to belittle the entire situation. However Dr. Seckin and his staff were absolutely wonderful and are always just a phone call away. He took me in right away and was honest and very thorough with everything. He ended up finding that I was suffering from both Endometriosis and Adenomyosis. Over three years with chronic pain, I was finally reaching a solution. The emotional battle this has all been, the number it has done on my body, on my spirit — I really don’t know how I pushed further to get answers but I am so glad that I did and so fortunate to have found this doctor. July 2^nd was my surgery; and things have gone well. I needed a bladder repair due to the infiltrating Endo as well as a total hysterectomy. I am 27 years old and am so grateful for Dr. Seckin and his team at Lenox Hill and staff at the office on 68^th.
Dr. Seckin works with his patients in any way possible. Do not be discouraged when it comes to insurance etc, he listens to everyone and his compassion is so warm it puts you at ease. I just saw him for my stitches and catheter removal and I nearly got emotional leaving the office. He gave me the pathology report and it showed how invasive the Endometriosis was and said we will check things out in 6 weeks. I went to give him a handshake and thank him and he said «give me a hug, you’re going to be just fine» and that meant the world to me. This entire experience has been so difficult, but to finally get to this point and with this doctor, I truly do not have enough words for the gratitude I have right now. Continuing my recovery and looking forward to picking up where I left off years ago!

He knows what he does and he has magical hands. You are in experienced hands and he understands what you feel. My doctor in Europe spelled his name as soon as I asked his suggestion. After surgery, you will experience a much better life.

In February 2015, Dr. Seckin performed a 5 ½ hour surgery on me for endometriosis and multiple fibroids. I am 41 years old and I wanted to keep my uterus and my ovaries to the extent possible. All my prior doctors, one of whom is very well known, only wanted to give me a hysterectomy. I was told I would probably never get pregnant and, if I did, my uterus would not carry the pregnancy to term. They had no plan for how to deal with my endometriosis pain other than a complete hysterectomy, which from my research would NOT solve my problem or offer me any real lasting relief. I embarked on a year long quest to find a surgeon who would respect my desire to keep my organs and deal effectively with my endometriosis pain and I found Dr. Seckin.
Dr. Seckin is an excellent doctor. He performs expert excision surgery for endometriosis, which is the only effective way to deal with the debilitating symptoms of the disease. I met with Dr. Seckin on three occasions and he did not charge me for any of those visits. Thankfully, he took my case. He did not sugar coat the very real possibility that I may still have to have a hysterectomy, but he promised to do his best to honor my wishes and save my organs… and he did. I still have my uterus and an ovary and a tube (the right ovary and tube was so badly damaged by the endometriosis and endometriomas that they could not be saved).
Dr. Seckin is expensive, but he will work with your insurance company if they pay out of network doctors. And to be honest, I would pay more if I could because being pain free is worth it to me.
If you are suffering from endometriosis and you are looking for a doctor who will respect your wishes and be honest and upfront with you about your options, and indeed DISCUSS OPTIONS, something lots of doctors don’t want to do, then Dr. Seckin is the doctor for you. I am immensely pleased with my surgery and the outcome.
Dr. Seckin literally did what other doctors claimed was impossible.

«Listen to the whispers,» Oprah said, and I did just that. The decision to do another surgery in less than one year was one of the toughest decisions I’ve had to make, but after my first surgery (Jan. 2014) I knew that the pain I was still experiencing was my body telling me something was wrong. The whispers I heard drew me to Dr. Tamer Seckin in NYC, and after my first consult I knew he would be the one I could trust. During my post operation appointment (Dec. 2014), Dr. Seckin gave me the great news that he did indeed find more endometriosis, and removed them all! Thank you to Kim and Lucy, you both did a great job in making sure the pre-​work for my surgery went smoothly, and a BIG thank you Dr. Seckin, I will be forever grateful for your care.

My wife had her laparoscopic excision surgery to remove endometriosis with Dr. Seckin on Jan 30, 2014. She doesn’t have a Unilocal account so I’m writing this on her behalf. I accompanied her with each office visit she had. The staff – Lucy and Kim, are very friendly, warm and professional. Dr. Seckin was excellent in every capacity. He spent a lot of time with us during her office visits. Yes, the wait can be long, but I think it’s because Dr. Seckin likes to give you plenty of time when it’s your turn in his office.
The day of the surgery was very tough on my wife. She doesn’t take too well to hospitals and surgery, but who does. I don’t know that Dr. Seckin does this with all his patients, but because she was upset he held her hand during her anesthetization until she was out.
After the surgery, Dr. Seckin came out a few times to update me and my wife’s sister on how the procedure went and what was going to happen next. Post-​op was handled by the Lennox Hill staff and that was very good too.
The surgery was life changing for my wife. Her quality of life has improved considerably. She was in continual pain before the surgery and has had no pain at all since recovery.
The price or payment were never emphasized in our meetings. I got the impression that we could arrange payment terms if needed. It was all handled professionally.
Dr. Seckin is obsessed with destroying endometriosis and improving the quality of life for the women who have it. He’s frequently traveling the world educating doctors on identifying and properly treating endometriosis. He’s the top person on the planet in his field. We knew of Dr. Seckin for nearly 10 years before we finally scheduled an appointment. My wife is very glad she did. She wishes she’d have done it sooner.
It’s worth noting that this was my wife’s second surgery for endometriosis. The surgery with Dr. Seckin had far better results and quality of life improvement than the prior operation with another surgeon years before.

Dr. Seckin is an amazing Doctor he is very compassionate, caring and he will be honest with you. He’s been my doctor since I was 20 and I am so grateful to have someone taking care of me that knows what he is doing and knows the best way to treat each and every situation. I would definitely recommend him and his great staff Lucy & Kim.
This is a area that when it comes to your life your body you do not want to take a short cut on. Your life and health is something that should not be taken lightly. He is a master at his craft and you will not find another Doctor that can explain and give you options on how to take care of what ever it is you have going on. He has performed 4 surgeries on me and I would not have had such a great outcome each and every time of I would of went any where else.
I definitely recommend him make an appointment go in and meet him for yourself he will change your life for the better I promise you that.

After years of seeing doctors who didn’t believe I had endometriosis or who weren’t knowledgable enough to provide any helpful information, Dr Tamer Seckin was a breath of fresh air. He was very kind, helpful and knowledgable, and within minutes was able to confirm that I did indeed have endometriosis. I would suggest Dr Sekin to any woman who has been living with this disease as he can help educate you about what your body is experiencing, and set you on a path to recovery.

I should of wrote this review years ago, my surgery was back on April 15, 2011. I have been loving life and living pain free since than thanks to Dr. Tamer Seckin. I cannot thank him enough for giving me my life back. Thanks!

From the moment we scheduled the appointment, we were put at ease. The staff was professional and courteous. Dr. Seckin took his time and great lengths to care for the «whole patient», not just the endometriosis.
After dealing with severe endometriosis for over 16 years and multiple surgeries, I was scared and at my wit’s end. I felt many times that I knew more than the GYNs I was seeing about endometriosis as I had done countless research on the disease since my diagnosis when I was a teenager. I was tired of staying with local doctors and began to look online for someone who could help. When I found Dr. Seckin, I was willing to travel for the hope that he offered. But, ladies please note, he DID NOT offer miracles! He was constantly up front and realistic.
I highly recommend Dr. Seckin to any women who is looking for a doctor who knows what they are talking about when it comes to endometriosis.

Again, I only review a doctor when I see fit. And I know from personal experience that when you are desperate for an opinion regarding a doctor or medical care in general you’ll go just about anywhere looking for answers — so those who looked through Unilocal here is my opinion:
Dr. Seckin is a man of few words, mostly anyone with a specific talent is. If you are someone hung up with communicating endlessly with your physicians he might not be the right fit — but if you want experience and wisdom Seckin is your guy. He’s performed laparoscopic surgery some 3,000+ times and when it comes to complications after said surgery that usually occurs with doctors performing their first 100 – 200 surgeries.
You don’t have to wait an eternity to see him, the office is extremely flexible with appointment times. And most importantly, with those experiencing pressing symptoms he won’t deny you exploratory surgery. If you don’t want to wait any longer for answers and need a true comprehensive assessment, you are in the right place. He never questioned my pain and if it wasn’t for his readiness to operate I’d be still be, medically, at square 1.
Some things in life are worth the extra $$$$$$$$.

He is an endometriosis specialist as well as a top gynecologist in the US. If you are a woman with gynecological trouble, this is the physician you want to see.
Dr. Seckin also respects women’s rights and will not try to talk you out of sterilization surgery if you wish to get it. The staff is very friendly and professional.
If your insurance covers this doctor, go. If you are childfree and no doctor is respecting your rights to control your own body, go. You’ll be glad you did.
