My RO at MDACC was Kian Ang MD. The whole team there is great but this guy is the head of the radiation group. Dr. Kies is an oncologist that sees new referrals to the head and neck group and will likely be the person you talk to for a 2nd opinion. It really doesn't matter who you see, you will likely get a group opinion on on your situation.
