Mayo Clinic | General Internal Medicine

"I am basically dying slowly over the last 17 months. My doctor has ran every test and finally referred me here as I am running out of time . They denied my request for an appointment? So now I’ve lost over 100 pounds against my will and in danger of losing my ability to walk ."

"You must have an outstanding medical record to be employed here."

"Best care I've ever gotten. Physicians were informative, explained the process, showed and explained results, told me what she was thinking and what was next. She was honest, care and everyone in the lab and imaging departments were top notch! I will continue me care with Mayo! It's well worth the drive!"

"Terrible continuity of care; these bozos just wrote us a letter telling us that we've been getting great care. Let me tell you what their definition of great care is... The primary care family physician has been gone the entire three weeks that this sudden onset problem. For the last several days the patient has been at 9 of 10 on the pain scale. Mayo has shuffled the patient between four different physicians none of whom are apparently talking to each other. Mayo advised going into their urgent Care only to be told at urgent care because the symptoms have been going on for more than three weeks it's against male protocol for the patient to be seen and they have to go to the emergency room. So now Mayo send out a letter that we missed our appointment at the urgent Care in spite of the fact that it was the Mayo same day urgent Care people who told us we had to leave. The physician who is primary care supposed to be managing this whole case got back from vacation 4 days ago and we were told he would call us first thing but it's been 4 days with no word. the fact that Mayo clinic general internal medicine has written us a letter telling us that we are getting great care from them is so asinine I can't speak strongly enough at the mere malpractice of that statement. to simply say we're getting crappy care because the primary physician is absent and there's been no coordination and they can't reach the primary physician either would be a more accurate synopsis of the quality of care or lack of quality of care. In summary, 1) the urgent call from the physician supposedly managing the case who's never seen the patient, that was supposed to happen 4 days ago, still hasn't happened, 2) Mayo clinic is sending out a letter that we missed our appointment when the woman at the office told us we were not allowed to be seen based on Mayo clinic's same day protocol because the symptoms have been going on for over two weeks, 3) we have a pane of 9 on a 10 scale and we've been shuffled through four different positions over this three-week. Never seen the same doctor twice, 4) Mayo clinic general internal medicine define this as great quality of care - Bull Pucks!!! I don't believe anyone even looked at the Mayo clinic medical records before they sent this asinine letter out. If I take this for the quality continuity of care represented by Mayo clinic the place has certainly fallen apart."
