As I said, I only had one doctor perform my HDR brachy. He did a great job. But I suspect that any other doctor would have done a great job. My procedure was done by Brad Stish at Mayo Rochester. The entire staff was phenomenal and it is the rest of the staff (check-in, nurses, anesthesiologist (can you imagine having a nice informative chat with your anesthesiologist), etc.) that plays a huge role in your care. As an employer with staff to manage I would love to know the secret to building the kind of customer relation standards that exist at Mayo Rochester. It is a giant place but everyone, from the janitor you walk by to the doctors, seem to care about and work only for you. Every appointment for me was on time. If I had a tight time between two appointments, the first appointment saw that and took care of it ("well, we can do that test here for you") without me saying a thing. If you show a bit of hesitancy in where to go next, a janitor or some staff person is there to show you the way. This attitude even extends outside to the nearby hotels and restaurants where those workers refer to "mother Mayo" as the reason their lives exist. I've been there to fight two big killers (cancer and heart) and I've never had a bad experience.
