Choosing a Doctor

Well, thank goodness that we are already affiliated with a good hospital. When it comes to something like cancer or any other serious ailment, this is not the time to be second guessing what hospital your insurance is affiliated with. We have M-Care and get to choose which hospital we want to be seen at and U of M is ranked 11th in the country for Colorectal Cancer and 18th in the country for all cancers. We did petition M-Care for a 2nd opinion at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester Minnesota since they are ranked #1 but we were denied due to the fact that U of M and other hospitals in our network were able to supply the same care and same procedures as the Mayo Clinic. We have liked Joel's Dr's thus far and have confidence in them so we decided that being treated at the University of Michigan and being close to family and knowing we already have nationally ranked care is great. Dr Huang who is Joel's surgeon has actually performed surgeries on a couple people we know and comes with great accolades which makes the decision even easier.
