Need Patients' Experience with Mayo Clinic. Is it worth it?
Visiting Mayo Clinic | Last Active: 28 minutes ago | Replies (135)Comment receiving replies
My experience has been awesome at JAX. So much so that I scheduled a bit of a tricky surgery at Mayo in a couple weeks. I have done my research locally (doctors and oncologists) but continue to be amazed at the level of caring and professionalism at Mayo. It would have been more convenient to do it where I live (out of state) but I feel I have one chance to get it right and I’ll deal with a little inconvenience to go there. Good luck, what do you have to lose?

@bosombuddy, I just happened to be strolling thru messages today, and saw your post. I extend a virtual handshake and a sincere welcome to Mayo Connect. I am also amazed at the level of care and the professionalism at Mayo. I received my organ transplant - my life - at Mayo in Rochester. I also live out of state (800 miles).
I would like to invite you to browse thru the Groups and the Pages on Connect. You will find many other patients who are sharing their experiences and supporting each other along their health journey. Feel free to join in anywhere.
If you would like assistance to locate a particular topic of conversation, let me know.
Blessings to you and your surgical team as you embark on your surgery.
@bosombuddy this is exactly how I feel about MGH. I now go there for everything except my PCP. Its definitely worth the time. MGH is about 55 miles from me, to go there mid-day we leave 2 hours for travel. The doctors there are all wonderful though.

I’m trying to decide whether to get a second opinion at Mayo in Rochester or Jacksonville. I’m five hours from Jacksonville and 986 hours from Rochester.
