Assuming you’re your appt is at the McKinley location you’ll check in at desk on 3rd floor, given a wristband and directed to waiting area. When you meet with the surgeon he/she will review your case and will schedule mammogram, MRI, etc at Moffitt to confirm diagnosis because they don’t depend on outside testing. You’ll be offered the opportunity for genetic testing and participating in cutting edge procedures. Hopefully they can schedule those appts on the same day to cut down on travel. There are hotels nearby if you have some early morning appts. After completing those tests you’ll meet with the surgeon again to make final decision on surgical procedure. A coordinator will then gather the team and find a date that works for everyone, especially you. Your post op appt will be about two weeks later. I was given the surgeon’s and NP’s contact info at the first visit and they were very prompt to respond to my questions and concerns.
I hope this helps. Maybe our paths will cross in the future. I’ll be there Aug. 2024 for my next mammogram.

Thank you so much for that update I appreciate it and maybe our paths will cross as I’m sure I’ll be back-and-forth to Moffitt from here on out even for my future mammograms and ultrasounds, etc.
