I have seen Dr Jeanne Palmer MD there. She is a specialist in ET. She is wonderful. Intelligent, communicates well, current with the latest research and very kind.

I have been seeing Dr. Palmer for PV and she is all that. And, she is also a good listener and patient.
But, for those who are on Medicare with or without a supp policy, you need to know that Mayo in AZ does not accept Medicare, except for a few specialties, unless you were with Mayo prior to Medicare enrollment. Fortunately, I’m able to see Dr. Palmer but Mayo will not allow me to see an internist/GP in their system.
I appreciate Dr. Palmer and her staff more than I can say but it is disconcerting, disappointing that I cannot have all my doctors in the one system. And, in AZ it took me two years to find a Board Certified Internist who was not a concierge doctor and who was taking new patients.
As I understand it, Mayo AZ is the only Mayo location that has this rule. Just so you know,
