I had surgery July ‘22 and was scheduled for Houston but the doctor had his feeling hurt by asking a question so I went to Mayo Clinic Rochester and they were excellent surgeons. I couldn’t be happier. Good luck

Thanks so much. Yes, Mayo in Rochester is on our list of places for a 2nd opinion. There is a Mayo in Jacksonville, Florida (north end of the state) but they don't seem to have team approach to amelo. surgery, as they appear to in MN. And that is what the radical surgery needs. I haven't yet found anywhere else in Florida that has an amelo. center. The pathologist in the oral surgeon's office initially said we would be referred to Univ of Florida (also in Jacksonville) if the surgery revealed something unusual. But after the oral surgery and pathology report diagnosed amelo, the pathologist said it was difficult to get an appointment at the U of Florida... I think there is no amelo specialist in Florida, but just want to be sure. Again, thank you for your information about Houston. Annie
