I’m happy I found her. She answered all my questions, including the one I always ask when I’m not entirely knowledgeable on any subject, “What should I be asking you?”
Just be warned that you will not be able to have a primary care MD through Mayo (unless you are some special exception) and finding a Board Certified Internist that is not part of the Mayo system is very nearly impossible. It took me four years to find one who was not a concierge doctor (I just refuse to support that) and/or who was taking new patients.
As far as moving here, despite having spent years researching where I would move in my retirement and choosing AZ, I regret the move here. Mayo’s policy about Medicare only being one of the reasons. Even if you think you know AZ, I strongly urge you to rent/lease for at least a year before you move here.
Regardless, good luck!
