Dr. Stephen Shaban, MD

I saw Dr Shaban yearly for my prostate. My old family Dr. felt something and since my grandfather died of prostate cancer I saw Dr. Shaban yearly. At first Dr Shabin was thorough, checking PSA and doing an exam. After he moved to the current mega location, his care changed, visits were short, not more than five minutes, only checking PSA and never doing a physical exam. On a recent visit I questioned this. The next year, since my PSA had been steady at around 1.5 he said he didn't need to see me anymore, and again no exam. Only Four months later, during an annual physical, I related this to my doctor. He did an exam and felt something. With further testing cancer was found. Thankfully it had not spread outside the prostate. PSA is a tool to be used with a digital exam and family history. Apparently Dr Shabin favors PSA. If I had listened to him my cancer may had spread before being discovered. There are much better choices of Urologists than Dr. Shabin. This is my experience only.
