Mayo Clinic Children's Center 200 1st Street Southwest, Rochester, MN 55905

"As a parent, I’m pleased with our visit. We come from out of state seeking second opinion and feedback for care. I am pleased with the providers we saw (sans one specialist), and feel like we have a direction to take forward that includes sound advice and options. I especially appreciate that Mayo affords time with the patient and caregiver. We were given ample time to discuss all symptoms, test results and concerns. I like how whoever designed Mayo, put patients first. The ambiance of the waiting area to see GP to specialist is top notch. There’s indirect lighting, sufficient seating, entertainment areas that aren’t blaring throughout the whole room, and even some speciality visitors. A hawk and even Elf can bring a smile to a teen!! Good samaritans also had beanies to pick from, stickers (even Taylor Swift ones!), toy crafts to make and a Santa’s workshop of toys leading into Christmas weekend. This visit holds a strong place in my heart. We plan to continue care with at least one specialist and flying to MSP will be worth the trip to Rochester."

"All was good but waiting sucks"
