@tonys, My husband and I were residents of Rochester, sort of, from late Feb.09 until late May 09 . We were fortunate to live at the Gift of Life House during this time. I always thought that I had great care here at home, and I still do. However, Mayo is in a class by itself. The No.1 ranking speaks loudly!

When I had my evaluation here at home, Kentucky, it was scheduled over 2 full days, because we only had a 45 min drive. My husband had to do all the driving and thinking because I was feeling poorly then. But after I was transferred to Mayo and hospitalized for 2 weeks, the evaluation process was carried out mostly before my hospital discharge. I recall that I was so very impressed with the skill of the technicians who preformed my procedures and tests. It is a smoothly run process. I remember the anxiety of waiting until my doctors told me the results.
I think you will be so busy that you will not have time to be nervous.

My advice: Dress comfortably with easy on/easy off apparel items.

Have you received an appointment guide? And will someone be accompanying you?
Is your evaluation over several days?

Wishing you strength and good results,
Rosemary
