Mayo Clinic Primary Care

As a long-time user of the Mayo main campus off of San Pablo and 202, I did not know what to expect. What I got was a radiology appointment the same day and a technician Bonnie Lee who was prompt and professional. I see that there are a number of frustrated reviews, mainly for the backlog of appointments. I know it is difficult to break into the Mayo system because they have such a large in-demand practice from both the US and overseas. Yet, they are not gods who perform miracles. Like any institution, there are better and worse practitioners, so you have to do a bit of online research and in-person testing.

I have been coming to the beaches primary care office for a long time. The facility is always very clean, the staff very helpful and efficient. I like that there are many professionals to see there, so you can USUALLY get into someone quickly if its a semi-emergency. The only thing to watch, and this may be true for many medical practices, is the lab work on yearly wellness visits. For some reason, Mayo tests came through ala carte and cost a fortune the first time. I don't know if that has changed, but I now get a paper script for the bundled tests (CMP, CBC, etc) and take it to Quest.
