Guest guest Posted June 20, 2003 Report Share Posted June 20, 2003 Bert, The doctor I work for graduate from the Mayo Clinic in MN. They have several locations. I know one is in Florida also. There may be one near you. It is a wonderful teaching Hospital that has a world renown reputation. If you can get in to see someone there I think it would be wonderful. This is all the info I have on it but doctors who graduate from Mayo are highly sought after in private practice. Good luck and let me know how your search turns out. Good to hear from you.

Guest guest Posted June 20, 2003 Report Share Posted June 20, 2003 Hoping everyone is well, Can anyone plz explain what the Mayo Clinic is, or tell me your experience's there? All this time I thought it was just for cancer patients. Now I find out from a person I just met, that the Mayo clinc is for people who need specific Dx's to un-explained problems. Is this true? I will do a google search too, but I have seen many here talk about it, but never really caught onto what they do? And where are they located? I can't suffer with all these un-explained problems causing me crippling pain anymore, and I am in fear of more mis-Dx's. This lady I just met says the Mayo Clinic is where I should go. I am also discussing this with my Dr., but in the mean time, can anyone, don't care who, plz, plz, plz, help me if you can. I would be forever grateful..... HUGS to all... Bert.

Guest guest Posted June 20, 2003 Report Share Posted June 20, 2003 Bert, I work for Mayo Clinic and have been with them for over 12 years. What can I tell you. Have your doctor get you a referral there and they will do the work up. They have so many specialties that I would not even know where to start. I have a hepatatologist there and love him but they have a whole floor just dedicated to that. They floors dedicated just to each specialties. We have several city blocks that are all buildings of Mayo so you can get lost pretty easily. Talk to your doctor and they will help you get the referral. Than when you go search out Rochester MN website and they will have whole listings for you of hotels in the area that do shuttles back and forth to the clinics. Need any more help let me know.
