Frank, the Hospital I went to after being at Ohio State James Comprehensive Cancer Center Center , in Wheeling WVa was designated a CCC after they took care of Cancer that OSU missed. They have an Oncologist that has been offered positions in many big name Hospitals in the East and across the country to the west. I wouldn't trade this Dr for any of the others I saw for the 8 months before he took charge od me and did what needed done. One never knows but can have that gut feeling like I did. I would say make sure they are up to what you expect and go for them. I'm glad I listened to intuition and not publicity. I would have been dead a year or more ago without this Oncologist. He likes the smaller Hospital and is one that has been gaining in reputation in the cancer Community.
