Hard to get into Mayo Jacksonville as has expanded so much with so many more specialties. I just spent 4 days there with specialist trying to find out what is causing tachycardia. I think what is important to me is the team approach at Mayo.

I was seen by hospital doctor, cardiology doctor, and electrophysiologist every day. The nurses were outstanding and when I pushed the button for assistance it was within minutes.

Mayo is very expensive. I was grandfathered in because was a patient prior to going on Medicare. When I see what Medicare allows at Mayo I am shocked and realize why they have to limit the number of patients on Medicare.

If anyone asked is Mayo worth it, I quickly answer yes. Their motto is "patient first" and that has been my experience there since 2006.

Hi there, I am very pleased to know your experience with Mayo Rochester wishing you congratulations doing good!
May I ask what would be the waiting time for a first appointment? Do I need to wait a week or a month?
Also I am considering to go to Rochester for a possible lung cancer surgery but Mayo is not on my insurance in network therefore what could be the medical cost based on your experience?

Thank you so much!
