What Conditions Does Dr. David Kaufman at Central Park Urology Treat?

Updated

Dr. David Kaufman at Central Park Urology treats pelvic pain, interstitial cystitis (IC), prostate conditions, male and female sexual dysfunction, premature ejaculation, male infertility, and bladder control problems, and performs no-scalpel vasectomy. The practice is a fit if you are looking for a board-certified urologist in Midtown Manhattan who emphasizes non-surgical alternatives and has a documented specialty in interstitial cystitis. It may be less suited to you if you need a condition outside this list or care from a multi-physician team, since the site presents Dr. Kaufman as the practice's physician.

Conditions and Services Listed

The site's "Our Services" section names the following:

  • Pelvic pain
  • Interstitial cystitis (IC)
  • Prostate treatments
  • Male and female sexual dysfunction
  • Premature ejaculation
  • No-scalpel vasectomy
  • Male infertility
  • Bladder control problems

The page evidence cuts off mid-word after "Bladder Control Problems," so this list may not be complete. Treat it as what the site explicitly states rather than an exhaustive scope of practice.

Where Dr. Kaufman's Stated Expertise Is Deepest

Two areas get specific, verifiable detail on the site:

Interstitial cystitis. The practice states Dr. Kaufman has "special interest and expertise in the treatment of interstitial cystitis (IC)" and that he was featured on ABCnews.com in April 2002 about successfully treating IC. The site also links to his lecture on IC at the Interstitial Cystitis Network. If IC is your reason for seeking care, this is the clearest signal of focused experience.

Difficult and chronic cases. Dr. Kaufman is described as a board-certified urologist since 1991 who "continues to demonstrate his expertise with difficult cases in urology, including male infertility and chronic pelvic pain syndromes in men and women." The site also states he has developed treatments positioned as "effective alternatives to surgery" and lectures on them nationally.

What to Check Before Booking

  • Insurance and payment. The practice states it accepts most insurance and HMOs, including Medicare, as well as most major credit cards. It uses the Phreesia® system for patient intake and insurance eligibility verification. Confirm your specific plan before your visit — "most" is not "all."
  • Provider model. The site centers on Dr. Kaufman as the treating physician. If you want a second opinion within the same office or a subspecialist for a condition not listed, ask when you call.
  • Your condition's fit. Match your issue against the list above. For IC, male infertility, chronic pelvic pain, or non-surgical alternatives to prostate or sexual-function surgery, the stated focus lines up. For anything not named, call and ask directly.
