Finally a Radiation Oncologist who I was sent to per an ENT Surgeon to have radiation sent me to Moffitt Cancer Center to see one of the top H&N surgeons. The RO said, you do not need radiation you need surgery because the tumor on my tongue was growing outward and not in, so the ENT Surgeon was wrong. The RO I was sent to followed my case from the beginning at Moffitt to the end...and with No Charge. He was beside himself reading my medical records, he was new in town, graduated from Harvard and worked at Mass. General.
I have nothing but good things to say about Moffitt and the staff in my opinion they are A++++.
What I don't know about Moffitt is if you can go there thinking you have a cancerous tumor or whether you have to be diagnosed with cancer by another physician then go there.
