I saw Dr. Shusterman for one problem, and was treated well. I did have another condition that I tried to explain to Dr. Shusterman. After explaining my troubles, he told me what I was experiencing was "completely normal" and that I'm imagining everything. It turns out I have a condition called Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome/Chronic Nonbacterial Prostatitis. He told me I'm NORMAL. I felt terrible about myself when he said this to me. He completely dismissed me. He won "the most compassionate doctor" award. How he won this is beyond me because, to me, he was the most fake, close-minded "couldn't care less" doctor and I hope no one feels as awful as I did when he told me I was "NORMAL". I thankfully got a second opinion and was diagnosed properly. He may be good with some aspects of urology, but expect to be "completely normal" in a condition he's not aware of. If he had said "You know I'm sorry, there may be something going on but I'm just not familiar with the condition" I would have been perfectly satisfied. But he didn't - he dismissed me. I will NEVER return to David Shusterman. I recommend the PA, Marina - she listened well and actually cares. Also, while I was in his office talking about my STD, he decided to take a 20 minute business phone call WITH ME IN THE OFFICE WITH HIM. Compassionate?? He could CARE LESS.
The only reason I didn't give 1 star is because I liked the office staff and the nurses - I had to get a series of injections and they were painless!
