What is involved in a Mayo evaluation?
A thorough examination is the first step in most patients’ visits to Mayo. In most cases, it is done as a part of the investigation of a specific medical problem. The patient’s primary doctor will start by fully reviewing the patient’s medical situation. The doctor will then order whatever tests or consultations with other specialists that he or she feels necessary, which are scheduled in a coordinated way. After all testing has been completed, the primary doctor will go over the results with the patient and make final recommendations. If you require hospitalization, you will be admitted to one of Mayo Clinic’s hospitals.
