The right answers

Effective treatment depends on getting the right diagnosis as soon as possible.

Safe, efficient care — all in one place

You won't wait weeks or even days for answers. If you have a test in the morning, your doctor will have your numbers that afternoon. In fact, most initial visits to Mayo Clinic take less than a week. That doesn't mean we rush your care. Specialist appointments at Mayo Clinic are actually longer than average. The professionals on your care team will take the time they need to sit down and really talk with you. Thorough, thoughtful and comprehensive evaluations and consultations are built right into your patient itinerary. We'll make sure you get the personalized attention and individual care you need — so you can heal faster and get back to the activities and people you love most.
