Hi Mark,

Welcome to OCF - sorry you have to be here, but it is the best place for support and information.

I've had 4 surgeries for OC and the last 2 were at Johns Hopkins. Based on my experiences it is the best place for treatment with outstanding doctors and great support staff (who gets the challenges an OC patient faces after surgery).

It is about a 3 hour drive for me and well worth it. I hope your treatment goes smoothly and your healing goes quickly. I wish you the best!
