People covered things well here so here are a few additions:
- Because healthcare was the only necessary item in my schedule, I appreciated that they just scheduled everything proactively and I just had to show up.
- Get comfortable with the app. It manages your schedule, notifies you when prescriptions are ready, gives you access to quality post appointment notes, allows you to submit questions, etc.
- If you can spend the money, the Rejuvenate Spa at Mayo Clinic can provide a nice break from the stress. If you get a massage or other treatment, you have full day access to the steam room and salt water jacuzzi. My family bought my wife and me massages and it was therapeutic for sure.
- Mayo has a lot of resources you’ve likely seen in their website, including the Concierge service listed below. They are truly responsive and helpful.

Mayo does a great job, IMO, of managing the experience. The normal stressors of scheduling, getting referrals, waiting for returned calls, etc were paused for us while there in Rochester.
