Mayo Clinic | Ophthalmology
200 1st St SW,
Rochester, MN

I've been a patient at Mayo Clinic in Rochester since May, 2019. I developed a rare form of eye cancer and have had nothing but excellent care by all those I've encountered in my cancer journey. I had dealt with admissions, billing, pharmacy, St. Mary's Hospital as an inpatient, radiology, surgery, and on and on. Everyone is all that I would hope for and I am grateful to have the folks at Mayo in Rochester caring for me.

My first visit to the Mayo Clinic in Rochester and the Ophthalmology Department. After a not so good experience in my hometown of Woodbury, Minnesota in which I did not feel comfortable with the expertise and integrity of a doctor who was to perform cataract surgery, I decided to put my health in the hands of Dr. Sanjay Patel. I'll begin my saying how organized and friendly everyone was at the Ophthalmology Department - very impressive. After a thorough exam in which everyone took their time to make sure things were being done right, I had the opportunity to meet with Dr. Patel. Dr. Patel immediately instilled a calming sense of confidence that I came to the right place. Excellent bed side manner; a genuinely nice person. Having looked at the results of all the testing that was done during my first two hours at the clinic, Dr. Patel, in no rush, took his time to carefully exam my eye. He then reviewed with me the results of the tests and his examination, went through my options, and recommended a course of action. I felt thoroughly comfortable with Dr. Patel's expertise and his integrity, knowing that he would do what was best for me. I am scheduled for cataract surgery in a few weeks and I will circle back to complete my review. As of now, I feel very comfortable that I am in excellent hands. The surgery was a complete success. I was seeing 20/20 at the following morning with Dr. Patel. Within a couple weeks the eye was fully healed. This was an excellent experience and I am very thankful.

Do NOT go to Mayo Clinic Opthalmology. Those jokers charged me $310 after insurance for an INCOMPLETE eye exam, they were so bad they couldn't examine my eyes and tried taping my eyes to get a better read and then they quit halfway through the exam, I didn't even get my eyes dilated and they still charged me for NOTHING and said they won't recommend LASIK or PRK. Go to MN Eye Consultants, they did my LASIK. I went from 20/400 -7.0 w/astig to 20/20 corrected, it's amazing. Don't be sorry Mayo Clinic Opthalmology, Be Better.
