David Shusterman, MD
Dr. David Shusterman’s approach to urology emphasizes the least invasive appropriate treatment and helping patients understand their options. He works with the broader clinical team to evaluate problems, discuss treatment choices and coordinate care.
Background and training
Dr. David Shusterman earned his medical degree at Stony Brook and completed urology residency at Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, serving as chief resident. His background includes minimally invasive urology and research on prostate cancer and urinary incontinence. He speaks English and Russian.
Alongside clinical practice, Dr. Shusterman teaches urology to physicians in training, serves as a urology expert witness, writes for patients and for industry journals, and is frequently quoted on men's health in national media.
Why office-based shockwave lithotripsy
Much of stone care has drifted toward the operating room. Dr. Shusterman built this practice around a different premise: that for a large share of stones, the least-invasive option — treated promptly, in a calm office setting, usually without general anesthesia and usually without a stent — is the care patients actually deserve. On-site imaging means diagnosis and planning happen the same day rather than across multiple visits, so treatment can begin quickly.
Bring your imaging and hospital records. We review your stone’s size, location and density, your symptoms and your health, then recommend a plan. ESWL suitability and timing are individual.
