Hello @tinytoni. I had surgery for head and neck cancer at Mayo in 2012. My primary was in the ear canal so my ear ENT surgeon was Dr. Colin Driscoll. The partial parotidectomy and neck dissection was done by Dr Eric Moore who is also an ENT and Plastic Surgeon. Residents were always involved as well. At the time the nurses said I had the best team of surgeons and I do believe that. Dr. Moore was able to remove a portion of my facial nerve affected by tumor and reconnect the ends to allow for healing of the facial paralysis. My doctors at Mayo have always been assigned according to their specialty and my needs and I have always been pleased with my care team. Once in their system, the team approach is amazing in how well it functions so that you can see just who you need to see. We still drive 10 hours from Ohio for rechecks because of the excellent medical care. Good luck to you. Susan
