Feeling overwhelmed: How pick the right radiation oncologist at Mayo

Which Mayo are you going to? I go to Mayo Jacksonville.
I had an excellent primary care provider (PCP) who was very experienced with prostate cancer (PC) as he had a lot of patients with it. He did a lot of research on PC to, in his words, "be able to help guide my patients with the best recommendations based on present research."
He guided me through my journey even recommending I get a second opinion at a major medical intuitions that treats prostate cancers even though he, my urologist, and my R/O were all at Mayo Jacksonville.
Do you have a PCP that can help you? Please do some research on this at major medical institutions. Mayo's motto is "patient first" so if you have these doubts speak up and let them know.

@jc76 would you mind sharing your PCP's name. I also go to Mayo Jacksonville to see my Uro-oncologist surgeon but now see his APRN. I see a NP locally for my GP needs but would like to switch to Mayo since I travel there often for PSA follow up. I think it would be beneficial to move all my care to Mayo in case PC pops back up and they could easily coordinate care. Thanks, Jim

@jc76 unfortunately, my PCP doesn't know much about PC, this new unknown process for me. I don't have much confidence. Help is very limited.
