Getting Second Opinion - Any recommendations?

[Tybear]

I've decided to get a second opinion done from my surgery last year. I just feel like nothing is making sense to me right now, and I want this done right. I've emailed the pathologist in Toronto and he said he would be happy to send it out to whomever I want - Canada or U.S. My question is, who in the U.S. would you all recommend? Which Hospital? I was thinking about Johns Hopkins, but would appreciate any input or suggestions you all might have.
Thanks,
Becky

I remember reading a post from somewhere at one time that listed the top 15 hospitals. 10th on the list was Barnes-Jewish in St. Louis. I only remember this because I live close to St. Louis.

Becky, we are working through Mayo and they are also top notch.  There are several centers of excellence in this country that deal with ovarian cancer.  Let us know what you decide.  Still praying for you.

Hi Becky,

You may also want to consider Memorial Sloan Kettering in NYC. One of the top Cancer Centers in the US.
Good Luck,

Hi Becky,
Another hospital to check out would be MD Anderson in Houston, Texas.  It and Johns Hopkins are rated the top two (for cancer at least) in the U.S.  Good luck....I've been thinking about you all day.
