You don't say where you are from, but I from my limited experience I would go with MD Anderson or Mayo. I am in the Cleveland, OH area, so I have been going to the Cleveland Clinic and University Hospitals here did a second opinion that included reviewing the slides.
Other, more experienced, folks may have better recommendations.

Jason-
I am new to this, but you will likely want to get full information on the biopsies and the planned treatment. You want to know the thickness in millimeters, whether it is ulcerated, if there was any mitotic activity in the sample, and a possibly a Clark level. Where were the moles? Did he mention a wide excision? Sentinel lymph node biopsy? Others can comment, but I doubt you want to do the surgery with a local. I certainly would not have wanted my wide excision and sentinel node biopsy performed under local.
Again, I only have two months experience with this, so hopefully those that know more will correct me.
