Your doctor
Talk about your health in your own language
When the subject is your prostate, your bladder or your sexual health, details matter. In your own language it is easier to describe symptoms precisely, ask the awkward questions and understand how the treatment options differ. That is why we can care for you in Spanish at every step of the visit.
Dr. Joseph Motta
Urologist certified by the American Board of Urology, with his medical degree from Georgetown University. He covers general urology: kidney stones, urinary tract infections, bladder problems, and men's and women's urology.
Minimally invasive treatment
In the same team, Dr. David Shusterman leads the prostate artery embolization program (more than 1,000 procedures since 2021), PAE being his first-line procedure, and offers Rezūm as the alternative, with Spanish-speaking staff at your side.

Frequently asked questions
Does the doctor speak Spanish?
Yes. Dr. Joseph Motta speaks Spanish, and so do our front desk and medical assistants.
Can I book by phone in Spanish?
Yes. The front desk at both offices speaks Spanish: (212) 991-9991 (Manhattan) and (718) 360-9550 (Forest Hills, Queens).
Where are the offices?
Manhattan: 800 Second Avenue, 9th Floor, Suite C, New York, NY 10017. Queens: 69-15 Yellowstone Blvd, Suite 1, Forest Hills, NY 11375.
What are the options for an enlarged prostate without traditional surgery?
Medication first, then prostate artery embolization (PAE) as the first-line procedure, with Rezūm as the alternative. UroLift, designed only for smaller prostates, is now rarely recommended because symptoms often return. The urologist will explain the pros and cons of each for your prostate and symptoms.
What should I bring to the first visit?
A list of your medications, previous test results and imaging if you have them, and your questions. For urinary symptoms it helps to note when they happen and how much they bother you.
When do I need urgent care?
If you suddenly cannot urinate, or have a high fever with severe pain or other serious symptoms, seek emergency care rather than waiting for a routine appointment.
