I don't have any personal experience with it but it is an NCI listed Comprehensive Cancer Center and that is a very good thing. They have very thorough information about head & neck and their radiation therapy treatments are state of the art, i.e., 3D conformal, IMRT, Gamma Knife, etc. I would be confortable going there...
