Great healthcare but more $$ based than patient based.
I've been treated at Mayo (Rochester) in the past and had amazing care from extremely knowledgeable doctors. I'd spent 1.5 years going to specialists in my own state. The neurologist I saw at Mayo made a diagnosis in 1 hour my own neurologist had never even heard of. I suffered a long time under the care of a local neurologist that couldn't have diagnosed me at all. Their neurology department is fantastic and I can't speak highly enough of them. Several years later I got a bad head injury, and once again I've been to multiple specialists with no resolution. I contacted Mayo because they were remarkable the first time I went. They basically wanted to talk money before even discussing my healthcare. I understand that they have to pay their bills too and that finances are a concern for any business, but asking for thousands down is just not something that a lot of people can do. They also gave my mom an experimental shot and didn't tell her that it was experimental and not covered by insurance. She got a bill for several thousand dollars for a SHOT 💉💉 That's insane. There's no way any shot costs that much to make. They weren't shooting diamonds into her.
