I also went to Abramson CC (FYI - part of the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania or HUP) for a 2nd opinion in 2005. Also a great hospital and I know a number of OC patients who were treated there with great success. I did not like the doctor (ENT/surgeon) I saw and for personal reasons I would not go back there, although he is one of the best in the field. A good choice.

What treatment are you having?
