Local vs Mayo for treatment or both?

I live in a big city with lots of healthcare options. I went to a local surgeon and did not feel at ease with her at all. I then flew to Mayo in JAX and met with Oncologist and surgeon. I was so impressed and felt so at ease with them. I ended up having my surgery at Mayo and have NO regrets. So professional and so well educated.

I had surgery, chemo and radiation in my local city but when I didn't feel my oncologist was helping me enough with my adverse side effects to the hormone blockers I switched to Dana Farber in Boston. Like meeshodge I was have been very impressed and far more comfortable with the staff their. It is a long trip for me but well worth it. Like you found at Mayo in JAX, I have found the Dana Farber to be patient centered and the staff highly professional. My only regret is that I didn't ask for a second opinion soon into my cancer care.
