In patients' words

— Mayo Clinic Connect User Discussion"I had a wonderful experience at Mayo (Rochester) with my breast cancer treatment. Now with this diagnosis I have been struggling with Rochester on getting appointments with GI oncology... I'm in the same boat. I've requested a consult... It really really slows their response times."
