@irishgirl12 Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect! [I'm Irish, too, BTW] Coming into Mayo Clinic, or any new doctor, can be exciting and nerve-wracking. As others have said, don't let reviews you have read color your opinion, please! Until you are there, you won't know how the interaction will be. In my experience, when I have had a great interaction with a doctor, there has been sometimes another person who didn't have that same thing happen.

Take time to write out questions, write out a timeline of events/symptoms, diagnoses from other doctors. Write down any procedures and procedure dates done to this point. Have contact information to other medical providers who have worked with you. You will be possibly on edge and nervous, so taking time now to gather information will serve two purposes. It will jog your memory of your chief complaint, and help you get your mind ready for this appointment.

Good luck, and please let us know how you do?
