Mayo Clinic is absolutely worthless. As hard as I try to get an appointment with them, it is useless. When I try to register with them on line, all they do is jerk you around. I have such terrible back pain and they supposedly have the best spine surgeons and I can't get anywhere. If I could give them a zero, I would. I have been trying for over 6 months to get somewhere with them. I have had back surgery and I still have pain in my back. I so wanted to get a neurology surgeon who has good ratings. I have a friend who has had back surgeries by my same doctor and I do not want to go back to this doctor. My friend is in so much pain. I need someone who can help me. Mayo called me twice and said they are not accepting any new patients. So what am I to do, live in pain for the rest of my life?
