Tulsa Pro Experience, Mayo Clinic MN – July 2024

I think I would fly to Mayo in Rochester or Jacksonville. I had my 45 cc prostate ablated (30%) there in July. My total bill was six dollars. I am on original Medicare though. Dr Woodrum in Rochester has done thousands of ablations. Not all Tulsa Pro but he is very experienced with ablation and the use of MRI. I was a Gleason 7 and at six months my MRI shows no sign of cancer.

I tried several hospitals, they would not take me as I have no family to care for me for 24 hours after the procedure. I even offered to pay out of pocket, full rate for 24 hour hospital room, even tried to get them to let me use a nursing service at the hotel, and still no dice. I was even willing to pay what medicare did not pay, still no go.

Found a concierge facility that would work with me and that is who I chose. Yep, costing me out the hind-end but I was left with no choice.
