I’m glad you are going to Johns Hopkins. Speaking from experience it is one of the best in the country. I started off at a local hospital where I had my first surgery. Over the years because of a number of issues I went to a few different larger hospitals, and finally ended up at Hopkins - by far the best experience and knowledgeable doctors and other staff. My last two surgeries were at Hopkins and if I had started there I would not have the many problems I do now.
If you want more details about my “oral cancer adventures” see my signature below. You can also search the posts that I made - I first went to Hopkins in 2010, so look for that time frame.
Wishing you the best!
