Father and Son Urologists Join Boca Raton Regional Hospital
SPONSOR

Boca Raton Regional Hospital has appointed Marc E. Taub, MD, FACS, and his son, David Taub, MD, MBA, FACS, to the staff of the Hospital's Eugene M. & Christine E. Lynn Cancer Institute and BocaCare physician network.

For over 30 years, Dr. Marc Taub had practiced at Boca Raton Regional Hospital. In 2013, he joined his son on the medical staff at Holy Cross Hospital in Ft. Lauderdale. Now, this father and son duo is caring for patients at Boca Regional and its Lynn Cancer Institute.

"The field of urology has evolved dramatically over recent years," said Dr. Marc Taub. "Having two generations work together under one practice has allowed for us to utilize our individual skill sets to complement and build off of one another."

Offices right across the hall from each other allow the two to share cases or the latest clinical advances on a daily basis.
