Osteoporosis
A “Well Woman Exam” literally means an otherwise well woman visiting the doctor, discussing important issues such as heart health, diabetic tendency, osteoporosis screening, blood pressure checking, having a breast exam, and otherwise being appropriately examined which may or may not include a PAP smear being obtained or a pelvic exam.
Arthritis
Medical Weight Loss
If you didn’t see it Dr. Oz was called before Congress and chastised for his wild claims that weight loss could magically happen with “fat burning” supplements promoted on his television show. Senator McCaskill took Oz to task for a 2012 show in which he proclaimed that green coffee bean extract was a “magic weight loss cure for every body type.” But Oz
Primary Care
Family Practice
Primary care refers to the medical treatment you seek first—before you get sick, before you see a specialist, before you need to go to the hospital. Specializing in family practice and internal medicine, Dr. Taubman will address your health needs by...
High Cholesterol
Emergency Care
To reach Dr. Taubman after hours our answering service number is 301-570-7310. In case of emergency proceed to the nearest emergency room or call 911.
Colonoscopy
Recently Released Data show that new cases of colon cancer and deaths from colon cancer have declined significantly in the past decade. During this period 30% less people have developed colon cancer than in the prior decade. The largest decline has been in those over the age of 65. This coincides with a tripling of the number of seniors undergoing colonoscopy in the same period. Because colon cancers often originate in small non cancerous polyps periodic colonoscopy offers an opportunity to remove polyps before they become cancerous and to find colon cancers at an early stage when they are more easily treated and cured.
Flu Shots
Last year my husband and I were given the extra-strength flu shots intended for senior citizens. Are they available again this year? Did any studies show they were better than regular flu shots? We haven’t heard anything about them this year.
Electrocardiogram
Vaccinations including regular and high potency flu shots for seniors, pneumonia shots including regular and Prevnar booster, tetanus including DPT to prevent whooping cough, shingles vaccine, meningitis vaccine, and TB testing EKG
Pneumonia
Immunizations
If you are interested in getting a Moderna vaccination and are not presently a patient in our practice kindly pre register

Ophthalmologists

Macular Degeneration
The most serious side effect is bleeding of the stomach and intestines which can begin suddenly and without any prior warning. Such bleeding can be life-threatening and require emergent hospitalization, blood transfusions, and need for emergency procedures or even surgery. The anti-clotting effects of aspirin can also lead to bleeding in other parts of the body such as the brain. Concerned about your hearing? Aspirin use has been linked to loss of hearing. Concerned about your eyesight? Aspirin use has been linked to progression of macular degeneration.
Eye Exam

Internal Medicine
Are you looking for an internal medicine doctor in the Olney, Maryland area? Olney Medical is committed to providing our patients with quality, patient-centered care. Partner with Dr. Taubman to monitor and manage long-term illnesses and conditions including diabetes and high cholesterol.
Bladder Cancer
This was found in ONE study. All the other evidence has shown a LOWER risk of bladder cancer with higher soy intake, consistent with the effect of soy on several other common cancers.
Ovarian Cancer
When and whom to test for a genetic predisposition to cancer has been confusing to both patients and many doctors. The traditionally high cost of testing (thousands of dollars), coupled with insurance companies’ reluctance to pay for testing in the general population, has led to a mystique that such testing is both unnecessary and unaffordable to most people. However, there is one group that seemingly would be ripe for such testing – an ethnic group that has ten times the chance of carrying a genetic mutation that, when present, can cause an 80% lifetime risk of breast cancer and more than a 40% lifetime risk of ovarian cancer. Furthermore, because of a genetic concept known as founder mutations, the cost of doing genetic testing in this population is about a tenth what it would normally be.
Cervical Cancer
A PAP test, for instance, is a swab taken from the entrance to the uterus or womb. The purpose of the PAP test is to check for either early changes that could lead to cervical cancer, or the detection of the Human Papillomatous Virus (HPV) that causes the vast majority of cervical cancer. A PAP test requires a woman to be on an exam table, legs up in stirrups, with the insertion of a device known as a speculum which opens the vagina so that the cervix can be seen and the PAP smear of the cervix done.
Colon Cancer
Followup studies every 2-5 years depending on number of polyps found or colon cancer in the family – Every ten years for everyone else.
Prostate Cancer
Certainly a big part of it is that the premise in 2007 that analyzing more and more genetic variations would make it obvious to all what our medical destiny would be has not really turned out to be the case for common ailments like heart disease, diabetes, and cancer. At a technical level the 23andMe model relies heavily on what in the trade is called Genome Wide Associations. Such associations tend to be weak and complicated by the unknowns of how multiple variations, some implying higher risk, some lower, and the environment all interact. And, assuming that the numbers they quote were actually accurate, which is questionable and to which the FDA is demanding proof, does knowing that your risk of prostate cancer is 10% greater than the average really help you? Probably not. Rather, such weak associations have been most helpful to researchers looking for tea leave signs of what causes cancers and other ailments and to develop medicines to treat them.

Depression
Mental Health
The theory behind ACOs is that by their promoting information sharing among physicians and hospitals and providing targeted extra resources, you can receive more efficient care with fewer unnecessary tests without duplication of services; and in the end your care will be of better quality. Like motherhood and apple pie – Who could argue with that? Or should we be suspicious? Of course “the devil is in the details.” For instance what is quality care, how do we measure it, and how do we improve it? Medicare has created over twenty “quality care measures” to judge us by and the list (and administrative burden) is growing. There are many ironies here. For instance one Medicare quality measure is to see if we are providing a depression checklist for patients to fill out. Yet if we wish to refer someone to a psychiatrist (good luck finding one), many mental health care providers in our area don’t accept Medicare because the reimbursements are so low and the paperwork too great. Further checklists are for risk of falls and all other manner of things, including seeing if we are in compliance with what are now outdated cholesterol guidelines.

Endocrinologist

Diabetes Care
Repeat that scenario over and over for routine diabetes care, thyroid care, annual prostate checks, etc.; and you can start to see why Medicare finds itself in the position it presently is in: lots of dollars being spent with little to show for it. If nothing else, remember your time is valuable. As a board certified internist surrounded by superb staff, Dr T is well equipped to attend to the majority of your care.
Endocrinology
In recent years Vitamin D, the “sunshine” vitamin, has gone from being important to bone health to a wonder vitamin, said to be capable of stopping all sorts of ailments from cancer to heart disease. As a result a 600 million dollar industry has Americans snatching up vitamin D pills – and some doctors routinely prescribing huge doses – but does it all have any scientific merit?? A recent study in the “Lancet journal of Diabetes and Endocrinology” combined the data of over 30 previous studies and concluded that there was no good evidence that vitamin D supplements actually prevent cancer, stroke, or heart disease. Furthermore, the core belief that vitamin D supplements actually prevent fractures was even called into question. So once again it’s looking like “lifestyle” changes such as staying active, eating lots of vegetables, and exercising remain the most important things one can do to promote health. Want more of that “sunshine” vitamin? You’d be better off getting outside and walking than just popping a pill.
Thyroid

Ultrasound
Our patients have access to just one physician, Dr. Taubman. Since you repeatedly see the same doctor over and over, you are not just another patient on the list of people to see that day. We have the friendliest and most competent staff you will ever meet, and we are one of the few practices that have a registered nurse on site. Because we are small and nimble and not part of a large health conglomerate we can provide unique services such as offering COVID vaccine and point of care ultrasound.
MRI
Understanding the normal process of aging is a first step in trying to explain what happens later in life. Researchers are finding intriguing clues to the normal process of brain aging by analyzing data from the so-called Scottish Mental Studies. In 1947 70,000 Scottish children, all eleven years old, were administered an IQ test that lasted 45 minutes. Starting in 2004 about 1000 survivors from the original group were contacted and asked to retake the same IQ test to see how they had fared. They were also asked to provide DNA samples, share diaries of their lifestyles including food and alcohol, and have MRI scans of their brains. The results have generated more than 250 scientific papers.
Mammography
Not all breast cancers are the same. Some start in the part of the breast where milk is manufactured (lobular) and others start in the ducts that carry the milk to the nipple (ductal). Some breast cancers grow very slowly and respond to relatively gentle oral medications, while others are more likely to spread beyond the milk ducts into the surrounding breast or to other parts of the body and require harsh, yet potentially lifesaving chemotherapy. As mammography has over the years become more and more sensitive, a particular kind of breast cancer called ductal carcinoma in situ, or DCIS for short, is being diagnosed much more frequently. These very early cancers are often being diagnosed as tiny specks of calcium on a mammogram that require a magnifying glass to see, and are found so early that, if left untreated, more than half might never cause more serious illness. The challenge is to figure out which women with these very early cancers could forgo radiation, or even surgery, and which are destined to suffer a much more serious problem that needs more aggressive and perhaps life – saving treatment.
Computed Tomography
Should all women regardless of age have an annual pelvic exam/”Internal”?? Not necessarily. However, keep in mind that part of the debate in medical circles revolves around the question as to how often doing the exam results in finding something significant in people who otherwise feel well. Part of the debate also revolves around cost effectiveness. The same argument could be made for not listening to people’s hearts with a stethoscope, or not listening to their lungs as that might result in further testing such as echocardiograms, chest xrays or CT scans without proof that doing so results in longer lives.
Chemotherapy
As I return home to the United States, I search my memories and experiences to define what the past four months have meant. All the superlatives come to mind “life changing”, “unbelievable”, “amazing”, “eye opening”, but what do those terms mean? For me, they serve as a springboard to advocate the need for improved health services in underdeveloped communities. To drive home this point, I go back to a heart wrenching fact I learned while I was here and I posted in an earlier blog. Tanzania is a country of 43 MILLION PEOPLE. It is twice the size of California, yet the country has ONE HOSPITAL that provides chemotherapy treatments... and this is merely just one example of the need to improve access to life saving medical care; unfortunately, there are so many more.

Vascular Surgery
Daughter Michele my medical alter ego and newly board certified surgeon! Now working tirelessly mastering the trade of vascular surgery at Emory
Robotic Surgery
Dr. Albin argues that, as a result of the misuse of his test, an unstoppable multi-billion dollar industry has developed where men are tested routinely, many are found to have elevated PSA results, countless have prostate biopsies, and many have removal of their prostates with not infrequent side effects such as sexual impotence and loss of urinary control; all at the cost of billions of health care dollars with few if any lives saved to show for it. He calls robotic surgery “a train that is ready to come off the tracks;” and that when the FDA approved robotic surgery for the prostate, its approval was not based on any human studies.

Ulcer
The problem remains, however, that there are no definitive studies that show this to be true. And unfortunately aspirin, though not a prescription drug, can have two very serious side effects. First, it can cause a bleeding ulcer without any warning, which can land people in the hospital with life threatening internal bleeding. Secondly, if a person does get a stroke, those on aspirin are more likely to have a more severe form of stroke known as a hemorrhagic stroke than people not taking aspirin. In fact in 5 studies reviewed by the FDA, 4 studies actually showed an increase in fatal strokes among those taking daily aspirin.
