A lot depends on what you are comfortable with. I have been a caretaker which involved a couple of very serious cancers, one was not curable the other was 4 months in treatment and 5 year wait. Also a couple of other illnesses which were "risky". As a result I had the opportunity to go to MD Anderson, Lahey Clinic, Mayo in Jacksonville, Cleveland Clinic for a potential serious heart problem, At Lahey one Dr. said almost anyone can treat once an accurate diagnosis has been made. MD Anderson clearly is great if you are famous or have a difficult cancer. If you are off the street with an off the street type of cancer it appeared their treatment was not too different from the others. Mofitt was impressive with the modern technical applications available. We have settled on Mayo in Jacksonville and it has proved to be excellent in treatment and other patient support. As this indicates we have done extensive shopping for the best and settled on Mayo not that the others are not good. When we were near Lahey we were happy with their clinic which has similar policies and practices as Mayo. Just as an aside..the Urgent Care Office at Lake Sumter is great for those type of problems!.
