“Remaining in Massachusetts to care for patients in the community where I grew up is especially meaningful to me,” said Dr. Shabo. “My approach to patient care is centered on shared decision-making, and I work closely with each patient to develop a treatment plan that reflects their goals, lifestyle and family or relationship needs.”
