Flat polyp: looking for best endoscopic mucosal resection doctor

What size was your flat polys and location if you don’t mind sharing.
I do not mind traveling . I was already researching Mayo, Clevand clinic, and Emory. Just wanted to find a doctor that does more with success rate.
Was your benign, precancerous etc

The largest was 3.5 cm and I had others 2-3 cm. They were scattered throughout the colon with the largest one in the ascending colon. They were mostly sessile serrated adenomas - precancerous and some were hyperplastic. Mayo has doctors trained in EMR and ESD and endoscopic removal of large flat polyps is achievable with the right doctor. I found there are not many who have the advanced training necessary for these complex removals. Hope this helps!
