Great description of the landscape of the small pads of expertise amongst the quagmire of the mass of informed and unqualified.
Your post struck a cord in that it was random dumb luck that I found a highly qualified specialist who both my wife and I have unflinching and unwavering trust in all things oral cancer.
He is a head and neck surgeon and was selected to the fellowship program at MSKCC. So very fortunate to have someone so qualified and received specialist training in a world class institution.
We changed insurance recently and had to go around a few times to ensure our access to his network. No plans to switch, EVER.
