Has anyone had HIPEC in the state of Florida?

I may be a candidate for HIPEC and am looking for the best surgeon and hospital. It would be great if I could stay in Florida for insurance purposes, but I also want a surgeon and hospital with lots of experience in this procedure. I have been told by my oncologist that Dr. Lavine and or Dr. Sugarbaker are the best in the southeastern US, and I am willing to go out of state, but with 2 school aged children it will be very hard on our family with me in a hospital for an extended period of time.

Any comments, information and advise would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
