As you know, I booked an appointment on October 17 at 1 PM at the mail in Rochester. I’m just hoping they have the right doctor that could discuss my situation. Most likely I have tongue or throat cancer but a large growth in the back of my throat I’m making a trip from Las Vegas Nevada, I hope I don’t waste my time and they have the wrong doctor in front of me. Who can I call or what number can I call to make sure the right doctor is there and will they except a biopsy that I bring from Las Vegas Nevada that I’m getting on October 11 can somebody help me with this?

I can understand your concern about getting the right and the best doctor when youget to Mayo Clinic, Rochester on Oct 17. @jeffk @loli and @deborahe can tell you more about their Mayo experience.

Mayo Clinic has some of the world's best surgeons who specialize in head and neck cancers (head and neck oncologic surgeons). And you will have the benefit of Mayo's approach to caring for you with a coordinated multispecialty team. Surgeons who direct care teams include mouth and jaw surgeons (oral and maxillofacial surgeons) and ear, nose and throat surgeons (otorhinolaryngologists).

You might be interested in this video where Mayo Clinic physicians Daniel Ma, M.D., assistant professor in radiation oncology and an expert in treating head and neck cancer, and Eric Moore, M.D., professor of head and neck surgery talk about HPV-related Tongue and Tonsil Cancer
