Mayo Clinic Hospital Rochester

The doctors are great the care exceeds what I ever thought it could. Thus far the nurses have been great with the exception of a couple of them which had a "better than you attitude " and as the spouse of the patient it is uncalled for. Overall if you want excellent competent medical services Mayo Hospital and clinics are where you want to be.

The best cafeteria with views of the courtyard and accessible to eat outside.
The most helpful staff right when you walk in at the information desk. World renowned cardiologists and surgical staff, it's no wonder why so many people from all over the world come here.

I've had 2 surgeries here, multiple stays for tests and they've always been good experiences. I recently had outpatient surgery, I had to be to St. Mary's by 5:45AM for check in, everybody was real kind and helpful with getting me checked in. There was not long of a wait to get taken back to my hospital room by a nice man who was informative on the hospital itself and where I'd be going for my surgery, very helpful man. It is a huge beautiful hospital! When I got to my hospital room, it was very clean. All of my nurses were very welcoming before and after surgery, they were fantastic! They were all very kind, respectful and helped me in any way they could. They all showed such compassion for myself and my Mom who accompanied me there for my surgery. Back in the operating room, the nurses I hadn't yet met introduced themselves, the anesthesiologists (I did meet prior to surgery) told me what they were about to do to put me to sleep, informed me on what to do for my part. They introduced me to another doctor who would be assisting with my surgery along side with my original surgeon as it was a complicated surgery. They all used calm voices (to I assume to make sure I'd stay calm), they were very informative. After surgery, my original nurses took great care of me again, making sure I wasn't in any pain and helped me with my pain if I was having any. Beautiful pictures hang up throughout the hospital, my Mom said there is a screen with a number alerting the family and/or friends when the patient is in pre op, when they go into surgery and when they get out of surgery. For privacy, they give a specific number rather than put names up on the screen. Over all, a fantastic, beautiful hospital with compassionate nurses. Whether one is going for an appointment, test or surgery, they're in great hands!

They're evidently aspiring to be a bank not a hospital. They put off surgeries that should have been done on the spot to weeks later at maximum swelling. Permanent damage resulted that could have been avoided if patient went elsewhere.

Not so much the reason for having to be here, but it's definitely one of the best hospitals to be at.
