I have been a patiend of Mayo Jacksonville since 2006. All my health care is there and it is outstanding. However when I got diagnosis of prostrate cancer after biopsy at Mayo I was referred to Radiology/Oncology (R/O).

May R/O does not have proton radiation treatments. They are building a new cancer center that will have proton radiation treatments but is years away. My Primacy Care Physician (PCP) at Mayo wanted me to consider proton radiation in addition to what Mayo R/O was offering which was Photon. That to me is oustanding asking patient to consider all options and encouraging second opinions. After second opinion at UFHPTI I chose proton radiation at UFHPTI. It was outstanding treatment but UFHPTI is only for proton radiation treaments. IF they needs something else done they use Shands hospital.

As I mentioned Mayo clinic is great. Every other Mayo Clinic location has proton radiation. The care I received and continue to receive at Mayo Clinic Jacksonville is superior to any other locations. Some doctors are better that others and you get the occassional bed side manner issues but overall I would recommend Mayo Clinic to anyone for primary care, second opinions. and treatments.

If you live close to Rochester or Phoenix those location do have proton and have very robust treatments, and latest technology and research on prostrate cancer.
