Dr. Montaser Shaheen, MD

I am writing this response to Dr. Shaheen so others know he saved my life while he practiced in Indiana. I am a stage 4 rectal cancer survivor of over 11 years now thanks to him. He treated me with the best available chemo at the time, coordinated radiation and aligned the best surgeons available. If that were not enough he coordinated my care after it metastasized into my lung the following year. To you Dr. Shaheen I am grateful for my life. 3 weddings, 4 grandchildren, 40 years of marriage!
