Smile 2nd Opinion
Personal experience with multiple cases of cancer in the family I strongly recommend to always get a second opinion from a major Cancer center. Specifically and in order 1. MD Anderson in Houston, Texas which has been rated #1 in Cancer for quite a few years, 2. Sloan Kettering in NY City which also has a terrific reputation along with #3. Mayo Clinic which is in Rochester, Minn with a satalite in Jacksonville. Suggest Rochester as that is the center.
To go to MD Anderson is not that much trouble as it is only a 2 1/2 hour flight from The Villages out of Orlando.
Please know that we wish the patient the very best!!
