Hi all~

I am new here. I am having a needle biopsy of my left Jugulodigastric node which is 1 cm in size. The "lump" is hard and non-tender. Although the size is perhaps "unusual" it in not considered "abnormal." (These are my assumptions based on what I can decipher from my ENT's words, research on the internet and my MRI report.) I have taken a week of antibiotics and that has not changed the node at all.
My biopsy is on Monday (6/27) and I want to be ready to move on it if the results are not good. I have good insurance and want to find a very good surgeon if I need to have surgery/treatment. Do any of you have any links that you recommend that provides any info on Dr's besides just their education and certification? (info such as feedback from patients, any formal complaints, lawsuits, etc.)

Thanks so much!
