Specialties and expertise

A team of experts focused on you

As the largest integrated, nonprofit medical group practice in the world, Mayo Clinic has expertise treating almost every medical condition — even those that are rare or complex.

We practice team-based care that puts the needs of the patient at the center of everything we do. This approach ensures your team includes top-tier specialists and that your condition is examined from every angle. For example, it's routine for panels of specialists to review care plans for people with serious or complex conditions, drawing on collective knowledge and expertise to assess each person.

When you come to Mayo Clinic, our expert teams focus completely on you. So no matter what health challenge you're facing, you will receive the most advanced care we can provide.

At Mayo Clinic, if you have a test in the morning, your doctor often has your results that afternoon. If you need to see an additional specialist, our team can usually adjust your appointments so you receive timely, comprehensive care in one visit.

Rest assured, our care is efficient, not rushed. Specialist appointments at Mayo Clinic are actually longer than average. Our healthcare professionals take the time they need to sit with you and your family to understand your needs.

With our efficient process, what often takes weeks or months in many healthcare systems can be accomplished in days at Mayo Clinic.
Effective treatment depends on getting the right diagnosis as soon as possible. Our specialists have a long history of recognizing and addressing tough medical conditions — often in one visit — that go undiagnosed elsewhere. Uncommon conditions are simply common at Mayo Clinic.

With a precise diagnosis, your team will apply the latest science and advanced techniques to tailor a treatment plan to your exact condition. Care teams often include specialists across departments, which enables the teams to evaluate your condition from fresh perspectives. Plus, your team has access to more than 4,700 Mayo Clinic physicians and scientists on three campuses. So if your condition changes, your team can quickly connect with other experts and access the latest research.
Mayo Clinic's model of care compels us to not only invest in the most advanced medical technology and techniques available but also to make them more effective.

Mayo Clinic is synonymous with medical innovations, advancements, future-forward achievements and a determination to change the world forever. Our doctors and scientists are driven to solving the unsolvable faster. They are committed to smarter adaptation of technologies and faster application of the latest science.

This ensures you have access to the best diagnostic and treatment options available anywhere in the world.
Our unwavering drive to create better medical care has earned Mayo Clinic more top rankings for high-quality patient care than any other health care organization. In fact, Mayo Clinic in Minnesota is ranked No. 1 in the world by Newsweek, which also ranks us No. 1 in the U.S. in four specialties — more than any other hospital. U.S. News & World Report gives Mayo Clinic top rankings in more specialties than any other U.S. hospital.
