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"
Several years ago I was referred to Mayo in Jacksonville because there was no Nephrologist practicing in TV at that time. My Urologist knew I had a problem, but did not know the extent of the problem. My experience with Mayo was excellent and I would certainly go there again if there was no one here that could help.
