If you go to Stanford, try to not get your hopes up. We have had plenty here who went to a top tier facility only to be let down by the lack of care they received. It just depends on the doctors and the days and the intake protocol.

You should consider whether the 90 minute ride will make you so you are fatigued and not as strong in your communication ability. Trying to get a later appointment so you can take a break before your appointment may be worthwhile unless they have a multidisciplinary diagnostic protocol.

I tried to get my wife seen there (a very rare cancer) but they had a drawn out protocol of less specialized doctors before allowing her to be seen by the specialist. We went to UC Davis instead and got excellent care.
