Why not try UCSFCCC, Mount Zion in SF. They cured me (although my pathology report was done at Kaiser Permanente is Walnut Creek). I also had a choice between UCSF and Stanford and, geographically am equidistant between the 2. Stanford is a CCC and a fine institution but IMHO UCSF has more H&N experience. They are also higher ranked than Stanford for what that's worth (and the only public institution on the list).

I have also worked with pathology companies on a consulting basis. As far as I know SCC is relatively easy to Dx, as long as they have a good sample, and a snip ot punch biopsy is the gold standard - FNA, not so much.
