Questions about Initial visit for 2nd opinion at Mayo Clinic

@kam23, thank you so much for sharing your personal experience.
I would very much like to get Dr. Kwon's opinion and am hoping that after our initial visit we will be able to request an appointment with him directly . If not, I will do everything I can to mimic your wife's ingenious approach (she sounds like a gem).
So happy to hear of your successful treatment and wish you the very, very best.

@auguri, you're asking good questions about prostate cancer care at Mayo Clinic. You can read more here:

In Mayo Clinic's collaborative approach, Dr. Shah will likely be your lead physician, the captain of the team so to speak. But your husband's care will not be limited to only one physician, but rather Dr. Shah will consult with colleagues and refer you to additional experts and services as required for the best care. You are in good hands.
@curious10, I believe, is also a patient of Dr. Shah at Mayo Rochester and may be able to provide more first hand experience.
You may also wish to scroll to the bottom of this webpage for a list of questions and "Preparing for your Visit" https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/prostate-cancer/diagnosis-treatment/drc-20353093
Do you have any further questions as you prepare for the upcoming trip to Mayo Clinic?
