Dr. Chaban was born in L’viv, Ukraine and moved to Los Angeles as a small child, where he grew up. He attended the University of California, Davis, obtaining a Bachelor degree in biology. He then worked in clinical research at Children’s Hospital LA for a year prior to attending medical school at Midwestern University (AZCOM) in Phoenix, Arizona. His passions in medicine lie in preventative care, behavioral health, as well as working with underserved communities. During medical school, he worked with his school’s H.O.M.E. clinic, providing medical care and educational outreach to the unhoused and underserved communities of the greater Phoenix area. He chose to go into family medicine due to being able to build lasting relationships with patients and have a meaningful impact on their lives. Dr. Chaban is excited to now be living in the green and rainy Pacific Northwest after spending four years in the Sonoran Desert of Arizona. As an avid outdoor enthusiast – especially hiking with his wife and their shih-tzu Chewie – he looks forward to exploring the beautiful natural landscapes of the area. He also enjoys cycling, sampling foods from different cultures, and technology.
