Core Tip	The most important factor for orthopedic oncologist selection was the reputation of the hospital, followed by a primary care provider referral and the number of years in practice of the oncologist. Patients under the age of 40 found social media and internet presence of the oncologist to be more important than older patients. Patients over the age of 60 considered care within an academic center to be of greater importance than younger patients.
