Ive worked in 911 FD/EMS & on an interfacility ambulance and retired from it. Been to hundreds of different medical facilities throughout my career. Cleanliness is a #10 here at Mayo. The level of care Im receiving, the entire staff and communication are the best Ive ever seen so far. My care, treatment and research have been top notch!

I did not want to move to Jacksonville but I thought it would be good to take advantage of Mayo being a research hospital.Yeah - not so much!Peripheral Neuropathy - if you have this - do not go to Mayo. They will max-out your out-of pocket and then tell you Live with it. At the end - their only suggestion was to drug me up.I saw no evidence of research unless you count researching ways to separate me from my health care dollars. Mayo is NOT the pinnacle of health care as they would suggest. In my opinion, Mayo provides the same, over-priced, ineffective treatment as all the other so-called health care provider.

As a cancer patient myself, I cannot praise the doctors, nurses and all other care providers enough! Facility is like a five star resort but more important, the compassion and empathy given is nothing short of amazing!
