Mayo Clinic Hospital, Methodist Campus

Mayo isnt just an inspired conglomerate of the worlds best medical talents under one roof although it is absolutely that. Mayo is an example of utopia in management. It seems that every single human that draws a paycheck from this institution is onboard to be excellent. I have never seen anything like it. From the amazing and amazingly kind urologist Dr. Nick Warner who resolved three years of misery for my father without making an incision to all the nurses to the assistants to the coffee folks to the security guards to the employees emptying the wastebaskets there is a pride a unity of purpose.PS The meals my father received during his stay in the Eisenberg building of the downtown hospital were on par with what we would expect in a restaurant.

They pick and choose cases based on what they can get published for. If you have a case that is not interesting enough for them youll get shuffled around with no real treatment.

Our 1st experience at Mayo is just unbelievable. What a fantastic place with phenominal compasionate doctors and nurses. I now see why it is world renouned.My wifes care has been prompt with appointment times met within minutes.

Somehow we always get the most compassionate care from medical professionals and their support staffs. They seem to sincerely care and treat their patients like they would their loved ones.

Im sharing experience of brother. He went to Methodist Hospital for chemotherapy. When they were inserting the IV they messed up big time. His arm swelled up is very red AND very painful. He has been back to ER three times and admitted every time. Im doubtful that they know what theyre treating. Im not happy and he definitely is not

My son was diagnosed with a very rare form of liver cancer called bile duct cancer.Only 2500 cases in the United States Received very little hope from doctors until we took him to Sloan-Kettering in NYC They were able to get an appmt at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester Minnesota His whole family had to relocate to Rochester. He received his liver 10112020 isalive because of Mayo..it is one of the best hospitals in the USA.The care was incredible

I had two stays at Methodist in 2018. My first was for ten days and the last one just three. I was on the sixth floor both times in Station 62. The nurses were excellent They are compassionate caring go out of their way to help in any way possible. I cant say enough about how good the care was. My personal favorite was Rowena. She was awesome

Lots to see big place. Great doctors

I have a rare form of cancer that has had limited progression because of too low a dose of a targeted therapy drug. My local Mayo health system clinic has referred me to the main Mayo Clinic in Rochester because the main Mayo Clinic does not allow the health system clinics to do certain testing such as PET scans. I am trying to schedule a follow-up PET scan and blood work and consultation which should not be hard should it You cannot believe how difficult this has been for Mayos scheduling. Not only I but also my family has had this same problem with Mayos admin work. It is abysmal. Not only that but the scheduling people do not seem to understand how hard it is to fast for testing until noon in a day. Nor do they comprehend that it is winter in Minnesota and elderly people cannot drive in the dark and that weather determines a lot of what scheduling is necessary. If I had any other choice other than seeing Mayo for my cancer believe me I would go there. The doctors are great but the support personnel and admin systems are ridiculously bad inadequate and stupid beyond belief.To continue with my story I am trying to get a reasonable accommodation to quietly read during my PET scans. Other scan providers allow reading and TV watching. Mayo seems to think my request will ruin my scan. I guess it has been forgotten that I am paying for this scan and that a less than perfect scan is on me. Well see if I will be accommodated. The main problem here as I see it is that Mayo fails to live up to its mission statement that the NEEDS OF THE PATIENT COME FIRST. In my dealings with radiology the patient is just a lab animal with no patient rights to say no or ask for anything other than the rigid procedures.I will continue this story. But any Mayo patient who needs any kind of accommodation from this clinic will face difficulties.So the story continuesSince January 2019 my spouse has been trying to schedule his 6-month eye checkup in opthamology. First in January he was told he would be scheduled in a couple of days. Nothing. After a month he then called and was told he could not get an appointment for another 3 months--now it would be 2 months past the time he was told to return. Finally after 3 tries and much angst he got his appointment with profuse apologies on the part of the scheduling idiots. These scheduling people actually suggested without knowing what his health condition was that he should go to the local Mayo health system hospital. Of course that hospital does not have the expertise nor equipment to do what my spouse needs done. My spouse has been going to Mayo for a decade because of his opthamology needs. Mayos administration is broken and stupid beyond belief.

My husband is there and I can only visit every couple of weeks as I live in Illinois they are so kind to my husband who is really sick they have comforted him respected him I feel comfortable leaving to come home until the next time I can come to visit they always ask when they leave the room if there is anything they can do for either of us and he has never waited for more than a minute after he pushes the call button for the nurse. This is what every hospital used to be like and should always be like.Thank you Mayo from the bottom of my heart.
