@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.

@jenniferhunter I have a challenging health condition and many years of seeing specialists so I know how to present information and accept their recommendations in a professional, non-judgmental manner. I speak highly of my specialists at Mayo Clinic Rochester and have recommended them to many others suffering from my condition. Unfortunately in medicine, no matter where you go, you are going to experience less than stellar treatment at some point. Unfortunately this one situation was there. Instead of complaining I found our child the care that she needed without making it a huge deal at Mayo. This is why medicine is individualized, and I am fortunately in a position to have a choice.
