Statins are poison...a stubborn Mayo Doctor put my father on Statins, over 20 some years ago with no history of heart disease or diabetes. My Dad had problems from very start , muscle cramping and weakness. Mayo Clinic Doctor refused to take him off...just put him on different statins. Now on atrovastatin 20mg. My Dad has statin induced permanent/ and or adverse condition could be directly linked (Documented Studies) to statins: 1. Hearing loss 2. Dementia 3. Can't speak full sentences/Difficulty in speaking 4. All over muscle atrophy 5. Difficult breathing/on oxygen last hospital stay first time ever 6. Can barely walk 7. Dying Liver 8. Non functioning Kidney 9. Frequent urinary infections that land him in the hospital 10. Gastrointestinal bleeding that land him in the hospital 11. Now Heart Problems 12. Shakes, constant fatigue Mayo Clinic Dr. refuses to take him off of atrovastain 20 mg, even after family request. Mayo Clinic Dr said no. Statins are killing him and robbed him of 15 good years. They took a perfectly healthy non-overweight man with just "pharmaceutical company determined" high cholesterol levels, poisoned him, turned him into a frail old man and robbed him of 15 years of his life. My Dad's parents lived without statins Father 91 and Mother (over weight) 87 with diabetes and both could run circles around my frail Dad. Statins are killing him and Physicians need to wake the hell up!. Same goes for all Cholesterol lowering drugs....poisons. Mayo Clinic/Mayo Clinic Medical School/text books & physician continuing Education, research hospital receives bulk funding from the Pharmaceutical Companies, NIH, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. etc. Mayo Clinic's former CEO was also simultaneously on the Merck Pharmaceutical Board of Directors. Both former Mayo Clinic CEOs support the World Economic Forum as Health Partner Governors.

The mitochondrial specialist couldn't be bothered to do genetic testing, and put a lot if inaccurate information in my medical record. She ended up missing a diagnosis. Mayo leadership did nothing to correct the issue.

I need help diagnosing if my wife has a personality disorder. Mayo Clinic came up as the best rated source of such patient care. I filled out their mental health form and submitted it. They set up a phone consultation on March 16 at 9AM and reminded me by text 3 times. They did not call me and when I called them they told me they discontinued that patient care service in June of 2022!!! I see their reviews are very mediocre on Consumer Affairs. These are terribly incompetent, useless psychiatric services. Do not waste your time with Mayo Clinic. I guarantee you disappointment and in my case more damage to my already fractured marriage!

It was below average experience. They always recommend to get vaccinated with the covid mRNA technology. It is gene therapy, not a true vaccination. Watch "Died Suddenly" on the Stew Peter's network on Rumble. I was once yelled at by a doctor because "I was sick too much." Isn't that your job, to treat sick people. I've had asthma for most of my life and now I have Fibromyalgia. Go to Helpcare, they at least listen to you. Today I had an issue going on and they got me in right away. They care. They take the time to listen, not just say, 'it's all in your head'. I do not recommend Mayo Clinic for that reason.

Have tried to get a 2nd opinion on a heart procedure, 3 or 4 times. All I get it the run around and your not worth our time bit. Just to get an appointment one must be a appointment. In other words their ad program on TV AKA on the streets ad BS. Bet if I had lots of $$ things would be different. They always say "We do not have a waitlist" with a little to bad; so sad attitude thrown.

Mayo Clinic denied my relative an appointment in 2021 for her chronic, ongoing all day - stomach pain deemed as a clinical urgency. My relative was also denied a second time the following year in 2022 and ironically, she was denied after being verbally approved. When she was approved, I was told by a Mayo representative that the next steps...was to receive her medical records as a means to determine the complexity of care and number of visits that would be extended on her behalf. No one communicated there were conditions. We were given lip service, set-up and totally mislead. January 26, 2023 my mother was provided a verbal approval (per Mayo rep Gabe after checking with its business office) to have a visit (Rochester, MN location) for her GI problem that was beyond the capacity of five local GI doctors in Kansas. During that week a Mayo representative requested her medical records. Before the medical records were issued to Mayo and three days after being approved Mayo sent a letter dated Jan. 29 that disapproved/cancelled the agreement. Again, the aforementioned is not an error...the cancellation happened three days before receiving the medical records and three days after being approved. This appalling situation created an undue hardship mentally and physically for my mother. The unethical, sloppy and unprofessional actions of Mayo Clinic reps from department to department do not inspire hope. Mayo Clinic is an untrustworthy, insensitive and unreliable organization that is poorly ran (right hand does not know what the left is doing), employees demonstrate poor communication, its way of doing business is murky and its grievance department - Office of Patient Experience only serves to help and protect its employees and not its clients. Allie with Office of Patient experience verbally took my complaint over the phone, without directing me to go online to complete a form with a detailed account and a few days later she submitted a letter stating accusations of age discrimination was unfounded. My relative never received the letter and I only found out about the decision after calling thereafter - I was told by a different person in that department. All supporting evidence of truthful accusations can be verified via their 2023 recorded phone messages with departments; GI, Business office, Billing and Patient Experience. Mayo Clinic sends insulting and contradictory denial letters that communicates verbiage that is one size fits all. Example extractions from letter: "We must review all appointment requests and offer appointments based on clinical urgency, complexity of care, and appointment availability” [NOT INITIALLY COMMUNICATED]. “ “Please know we do not make this decision lightly. If your health situation changes, please consider contacting us.”[CONTACTED TWO CONSECUTIVE YEARS] “We would appreciate another opportunity to evaluate whether our services can support those provided by your current provider." [Comically DISINGENUIOUS] The MODEL way of accepting a patient is remarkably demonstrated by ***** Clinic that actually provides one an appointment date and time and requests medical records two weeks or sooner before the visit. This outstanding business does not BREACH a verbal appointment agreement nor send denial letters three days after making an appointment. This is the ethical, professional and proper way to conduct business. Based upon our experience I would not recommend Mayo Clinic and its related entities to anyone as it is an untrustworthy organization. People who suffer similar incidents of this type should qualify for a class action lawsuit and Mayo should revisit and modify its Mission and Excellence statement as it does not ring true.

I had a successful cancer operation at the Mayo Clinic and was very happy with the outcome. The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly and made me feel safe and secure. The surgeon and his team were very professional and I have no doubt they saved my life and certainly improved my quality of life. I would highly recommend them. Thank you to everyone there.

Highly and strongly encourage you to look elsewhere for your healthcare services! Billing department is horribly dysfunctional, incompetent and generally atrocious. Overpaid them and was reassured twice that it was 100% accurate so they subsequently refunded my overpayment amount, yet more than two years later they have billed me again for services rendered with absolutely no explanation whatsoever. Not acceptable for an organization that is supposed to be world-class. ***Be guided accordingly!***
