I wanted to throw a bone to the other side of JHU, the negative side. First I am a graduate of JHU graduate programs, and JHU is quality in many areas, so I can say not all things are bad at all about JHU. However, what happened at the pathology department and in my case too says no don't bother with JHU. They had one of the best clinical prostate pathologists in the world in Epstein, then some others in his department pulled a kind of classic "power grab". These university can get political, upstart docs who may not be very good clinically get more pay by having job titles and so on, they want power and do nasty things to get that. In my opinion JHU pathology is loaded with classic power play doctors, and you don't want that as a patient. You want people good at pathology and not politics. JHU showed the pathology is too political and loaded with power grabbers, don't send anything there in my opinion and as a Hopkins graduate too. Pick a less political medical center.

I have received excellent care from Johns Hopkins from second opinions to treatment.
I'm sure there are political issues at all institutions and entities.
