Hi @jbnewby1313, I merged your 2 discussions into one discussion. I’m sure you’ve already seen this info about Dr. Quevedo, Medical Oncology at Mayo Clinic’s Comprehensive Cancer Center in Rochester MN

You will be in good hands with the team at Mayo Clinic. And I do mean team. The “multispecialty, integrated, collaborative team” (MICT) approach offered by Mayo Clinic serves as a model adopted by several great institutions across the US and around the world.

It is likely upon reviewing your records that Dr. Quevedo was matched to your initial needs assessment. He will be your quarterback, so to speak. However, Dr. Quevedo does not work in isolation. With you at the center, the team will discuss your preferences and philosophy to match the optimal treatment recommendations suited to best evidence, your clinical status and your wishes.

You have obviously done a lot of research and are asking great questions that you will serve you well at your appointment in March. Are you leaning to a specific philosophy or approach? Have you already received a diagnosis or treatment plan elsewhere and are going for a second opinion?
