They fixed an ankle problem for me when several sports medicine practices didn't know what to do. They have a different attitude there.

They did not become "superstars" overnight. The same is true of all the Joselin Clinics scattered across the country as well.
When I first moved to central NY from NYC, the big "name" in healthcare was the Guthrie Clinic in Sayre, Penn. Everyone was saying it was the best in the world. Well, I never heard of it before. Amazing what a name and a little advertising can do.
I'm sure there are some pretty good doctors at Mayo, but don't assume they ALL are great because they practice under the umbrella name of "Mayo Clinic"
