Choosing Mayo Clinic

Expertise, innovation and research

Mayo Clinic, with transplant services in Arizona, Florida and Minnesota, performs more transplants than does any other medical center in the world. Mayo Clinic's integrated teams of surgeons, doctors, transplant nurses, pharmacists, social workers and others work together to manage every aspect of your transplant, from planning of transplant options through post-transplant care. ABO incompatible, positive crossmatch, paired donation kidney transplants and other procedures are among Mayo's areas of specialization. Since performing the first clinical transplant in 1963, Mayo's efforts to continually improve and expand organ transplantation have placed Mayo at the leading edge of clinical and basic transplant research worldwide. Research activities in the Transplant Center at Mayo Clinic have contributed significantly to the current successful outcomes of kidney transplantation.
