      Has anyone used Mayo in Jacksonville for consults/ and or treatment? I’ve been several times to meet with Dr. Richard Joseph and I have been very happy with the time and attention he has given at the appointments.  Tomorrow I meet with Dr. Stephen Ko, a radiation doc.  Is anyone familiar with him? 

      Thanks fellow wonderful strong people 🙂

          Dr Markovic-Mayo in Rochester recommended Dr Roxana Dronca as the go to person for melanoma at the Mayo Jacksonville location. I was seen at the Mayo Rochester location since 2013-I’m also 3B (I moved from Minnesota to Florida this year). I haven’t been up there as I’ve been melanoma free since early 2013 and they told me after my 2018 NED appt to not come back unless I have a problem.

              Hi Cindy, I've been a patient of Dr. Joseph since 2015, and I've never had any problems with him. Sorry but I don't have any info on Dr. Ko as I had to have radation once but I saw Dr. Jennifer Peterson. She was great. 

              Wishing you the best/Rosa
