Patients and their families from throughout the United States and more than 150 foreign countries travel each year to Mayo Clinic locations in Arizona, Florida and Minnesota to benefit from a tradition of patient care excellence.
Mayo Clinic’s approach to health care stems from a culture of collaboration. More than 3,600 physicians and scientists and 49,000 medical support staff work together across medical specialties to provide every patient with the best quality care. Patients receive thorough medical tests and physician consultations in just a few days. This often means a diagnosis comes quickly, and treatments, including surgery, can be scheduled for the next day.
Mayo Clinic’s expert team of specialists and unparalleled medical facilities are available to everyone for any type of illness. Whether for diagnosis and treatment of a serious disease, a comprehensive wellness exam, or even a second opinion, requesting an appointment is easy. In most cases, a physician referral is not required. Mayo Clinic works with many insurance companies and is an in-network provider for millions of people.
Mayo Clinic has earned a global reputation for delivering superior medical care. But that is not all that sets Mayo Clinic apart. Patients come to Mayo Clinic to find answers and tell us that they leave with peace of mind knowing they received care from the world’s leading experts. Mayo patients expect the best medicine has to offer, and more than 90 percent of these patients say good things about Mayo Clinic to their friends and family.
