He is direct and to the point during his visits and there is no "grey" areas when you leave his office.
Regarding accommodations, the Inn at Mayo, is overpriced for the convenience in my opinion. Several hotels in the area give a Mayo discount, just ask! Hope this helps!
Thanks for the info. I am still awaiting a call to see if they will accept me. I have been turned down from so many that I am hoping that they are my answer as they do the difficult cases. I'll probably take whichever doctor they assign me in hopes of getting in as soon as I can but thanks for the tips on Dr. Reimer.
