Re Moffitt, I have probably referred 10 plus H & N patients to my RO, Dr Trotti since I completed my Tx's 4 plus years ago and have taken at least 7 to their first consult. Not one dime in commission but that's another topic! Also for the last 3 years I have co taught with Dr T a half day H & N seminar to their med students and was filmed in a Q & A on my treatment experience at Moffitt which is on their web site. I also have participated in other seminars Moffitt has put on re H & N so I guess one might conclude that I am very high on Moffitt.

Now that being said I did have a few complaints during my Tx and even had the occasion to speak to the head of their hospital. She called me at home during the end or right after my Tx had ended. Granted I may be more demanding or logical (anal) than most but I did not hold back my opinions during or post Tx.

IMO no one CCC or other treating facility is going to be perfect but Moffitt has to be way up there and I was lucky to have been so close and I feel very lucky that I ended up with my treatment team of Dr Andy Trotti and Dr Tapan Padhya.
