I have been a patient of Mayo Clinic since 2006. It was my primary care doctor there that referred me to Mayo urologist after my PSA kept going up but was sill under normal number. Urologist at Mayo did DME, and ordered a MRI. The MRI showed areas of concerned. Next step was this urologist did a MRI/Fusion biopsies. Those biopsies came back positive for cancer. Urologist then referred me to Radiology/Oncology for consultation.

Did the consultation at Mayo Clinic and at UFPTI. From my research, primary care doctor, the consultations, the package I got from UNFPTI, I decided on proton radiation versus photon which is what Mayo Jacksonville does.

When I had the biopsies done is when I contacted UFPTI but already has gotten their package as my primary care doctor was saying to consider UFPTI and proton as he had done a lot of medical research there and some of his patients with prostrate cancer went to UFPTI and others to Mayo.

So it was Mayo first and then UFPTI. Mayo sent all my medical records to UFPTI which prevented me from having to go through additional testing by UFPTI as the tests were already done.

I hope this answered your questions. IF you want you can send me a secure message (upper right hand of web page) and we can converse that way and or I can send you my e-mail. If really has to be a personal decision based on what you learn by research, consultations, and feedback you get. What is good or best for me or others may not be best for you.
