Those rankings show BOTH in the top 5, so I don't think that is a big difference. But ask the people that have been to each and you might get a different answer.

I'd vote for Hopkins after going to both.

Glenntaj posted a detailed reply about this on the Mayo thread.

I think the work-up is basically the same in both locations...as they all have the same testing available. It comes down to the physicians...the end game.

It also comes down to the patient and what is going on. If it is obvious PN and testing positive then anyone (anywhere) can come up with the same Dx. But if it is not evident what the cause is or even that PN exists, then I'd go to Hopkins where they think 'outside the box'. There are also great facilities that Glenn mentioned in that post.

There are people that have had great experiences at Mayo, but posts here (and other forums) reveal that more often than not, people don't have a very good outcome at Mayo. They by far have the BEST logistics and organized operation though!
