Dear 2ndjourney,

I have not read any reviews of the major cancer centers, but I would rely on personal interviews.

My advice is to find at least two teams. Interview the teams regarding its expertise and success rates. You'll want to speak to the *entire* multidisciplinary team:
(1) the craniofacial surgeon,
(2) the microvascular surgeon,
(3) the maxillofacial surgeon,
(4) the chemotherapy and/or radiology oncologist,
(5) the prosthodontist (if obturation is required), and
(6) the team's other patients (if any of them agree to speak about their personal experiences).

To help determine your decision for the team you will engage, I would rely on the physician-patient experience during these initial interviews rather than reading the public comments on YELP (or some other public online review sites.)

Thank you @joylondon ... you are absolutely right...I am one of those people that look at the reviews of places and take heed to "some" of it. But , I do know personal interviews and other patient experience has to be considered also. For such a serious matter, I ask Everyones opinion, then make my choice.
