St. Luke's Center for Urology - West End
I have been practicing at St. Luke’s University Health Network since 2007. I became interested in a career in medicine as an undergraduate student at the University of Michigan. After Michigan, I attended medical school at the Medical College of Pennsylvania/Hahnemann University School of Medicine at Drexel University. I completed a residency in urology at Yale-New Haven Hospital in New Haven, Connecticut. I also did a research fellowship at Yale during my residency looking at inflammatory pathways of the bladder.
My practice focuses on male and female adults with urologic cancers of the kidneys, bladder and prostate. I also specialize in stone disease of the urinary tract as well as benign disease of the prostate and incontinence. When surgery is indicated, there is always a focus on performing the procedure in a manner that is as minimally invasive as possible. Advances in endourology and the Davinci surgical system have decreased recovery time and discomfort associated with urologic surgery allowing patients to return to their lives quicker.
I operate or have office hours in Allentown and Easton. I also speak proficient Spanish. When I am not practicing urology, I enjoy spending time with my wife and three children.

“Dr. Tamarkin is an excellent doctor, who has my care as his utmost priority. I am always well informed during our appointments and have a very clear view of what follow up steps are needed. The staff makes it easy for me to set follow up tests and appointments as needed. I am not thrilled about the overall health situation I am in (which seems to be stabilized and not getting worse in any way) but I am VERY pleased to have Dr. Tamarkin taking care of me. I have recently recommended him to 2 friends as well.”
