This is a very strange question (highlighted below). I would actually prefer Moffitt and I am actually going there. They are a bit over an hour away and are ranked #6 in the US, which is better than Roswell Park. I do not have a good handle on exactly what factors go into the rankings but at some point you are choosing the actual Drs you feel comfortable with and not so much the institution. If you have some specific information to share as to why someone should go to NY then please do so. I could have also chosen U of Florida/Shands or Mayo (and have actually been to both for other issues and the outcomes were fantastic).

Even if your definition of Western NY is Jamesville, then Cleveland Clinic is only an hour or so away.
I do agree with the previous post---when it comes to health care, people always think it's greener on the other side of the mountain
