MDA is about as good as it gets in treating oral cancer nationally. Some here have traveled hundreds of miles just to be treated there and I considered it myself and I'm in Michigan.
MDA is a Comprehensive Cancer Center (CCC) and that is good as you can get. Given your proximity, I would have them do the second opinion at the very least and very seriously consider them as your primary care facility. They are that good.
