      I've been to both but it has been a few years for Moffitt  I went to Moffitt when Jeffrey Webber was there.  If he was still there I would say hands done Moffitt.  I'm not sure what I would say now.  Although I haven't personally looked recently I would think Moffitt may have more melanoma trial options.  Duke used to have one of the best surgical melanoma Doctors in the country but he has left.  I would not recommend Duke for melanoma surgery but we do have a member here that was very pleased with the surgical procedure he had done there.  Duke's primary melanoma specialist is Dr. April Salama.  She is very knowledgable.  My only critique would be I think she can be a little on the conservative side with her treatment recommendations.

      Did I make that as clear as mud?  Why just those two?  Where are you located?
