My Disappointing Experience at Mayo Clinic Rochester

I had a similar experience in GI. I am a patient with doctors in several different departments & have had great care. My child, also with the same challenging genetic condition as me, had terrible GI issues so I was able to get in her into GI. Without going into it all we basically had the same experience with a resident and attending physician. Dismissed her from the start and sent on our way. I didn’t know there was a patient experience person I could call thought. It was a total waste of time and money for us too. I’m so sorry you had this experience from the start.

@jwool89 I am a Mayo Rochester patient. I have seen a local (near where I live) Mayo trained gastroenterologist recently and she was wonderful and she asked questions and took interest in helping with other issues beyond just her specialty. The information a patient provides and the way you communicate with your doctor matters. They are forming an opinion that starts with what a patient says. If the clinician doesn’t get accurate or complete information, they are working with a disadvantage. It helps to know what information might be important to share. I can’t speak to someone else’s visit, but all of my experiences at Mayo have been stellar.
