Hello;

   This is just personal, but I prefer 1. MD Anderson, Houston, Texas 2. Mass. General 3. Loma Linda
   The others I haven't read much about. I suppose procedurely, they are all similar, but not exactly the same. Drs. do differ and a pt. must follow where they feel most confident ( their "gut" feeling ). Number of Txs of strictly ANs is important to a degree.

Remember the machine designs are the same, it is the expertise of the team that will decide the end result. Doctor Alan Thorton from the Hampton University Proton Treatment Institute (HUPTI) and his team came from MGH originally. They then setup the Indiana University Health Proton Therapy Center (formerly Midwest Proton Radiotherapy Institute). In 2010 the team came to HUPTI. I consulted with them in August of 2012 and started treatments in Oct 2012 with completion Nov 20, 2012. I believ you could not find a more qualified and caring group of individuals anywhere (of course I am biased).
