Tips about preparing for my second opinion appointment at Mayo

We use the Mayo Clinic Travel Agency to arrange air, shuttle, hotel reservations. If we need to extend our visit we know that they are great at re-arranging flights. They have been good in finding direct flights and lower rates listening to our needs.
We also like to stay at the closest Staybridge at 101 11th Southwest which provides excellent free shuttle, and wheel chairs if needed.
The Canadian Honkers is within a short walk and has the Rochester famous Bunny Cake..
We also found that we did better with a referral from our local Doctor to a specific Doctor. Dr. Hobday is amazing and we also like working with his team member, the social worker Amy Allen.
Wishing you the compassion and competency we have found.

Ooops. The information I wrote was for Mayo at Rochester MN. however "Patient Travel Services agents can help patients and their families plan trips to any of the primary campuses (Rochester, MN; Phoenix/Scottsdale, AZ; Jacksonville, FL).
Assistance Offered: Services include flight reservations, hotel bookings (often with discounted rates at partner hotels), and ground transportation arrangements."

@maeve115, you’re right that Mayo Clinic’s travel service is very helpful in arranging travel plans and especially helpful if changes have to be made.
I think people who have been to Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN would second your recommendations, including the Bunny cake. 🙂
