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

@rkaspet, keep asking questions as you prepare for your visit.

Hi,
I can understand your concerns about traveling for a consult and not knowing what to expect. I would suggest calling the Otolaryngology Dept soon and explain your situation and concerns. A conversation before your visit may ease some of your worries and help you feel better prepared.
Wishing you all the best. You will be in good hands.
