Hi and congratulations on your surgery. I am a 12 year lung cancer survivor (never smoker diagnosed stage 1a)
I love my Mayo Thoracic team. Dr Steven Cassivi is brilliant and kind!
Try calling Kristin or Karen on his team directly to see if they will give you appointment(?) 5072842808.
If you prefer Pulmonology you may want to call Dr David Midthun.
My feeling is they are the best team and cal answer your questions and help you decide who you can see and where. Have your Mayo Clinic number when you call. The call is worth the wait. I’m happy to talk with you if you would like.
Best,
Linda Wortman

I started with Dr Cassini in Rochester but chose to have my surgery in Chicago with my family nearby. I am now looking for a doctor in Arizona for the winter. Mayo in Scottsdale will not accept Medicare, unlike Rochester. Happy you are well. Thanks
