I check the location of PVP doctors periodically. Today I noticed a doctor
in Chicago who has been listed for several months is no longer listed.
Coincidentally, I had emailed him recently with a couple of questions about
PVP but never received a response. Any speculation as to why a doctor who
had been performing PVPs is no longer doing so?

Lots of possible reasons. Possibly he moved his practice? That's what
my former uro did, he decided to go to another state to practice.

Why no name? "A doctor in Chicago". I do not understand why we can't have
more names. Maybe someone here knows him and the reasons. Difficult to do
that by guessing.

The name was Jon Soble and he is/was affiliated with Evanston Northwestern
Healthcare. He's listed on their site as a specialist in minimally invasive
surger. I see he is no longer listed on the Blue Cross/Blue Shield site
either so maybe he has gotten out of private practice and become a full time
researcher. From his picture, I'd say he's too young to have retired.
Sorry I brought it up.

He's dead.

He's retired.

He lost his medical license.

Insurance premium increased forced him to stop.

Want more speculation?
