--that between this board and a number of others, I've read very mixed reviews about the Mayo clinic experience from a number of people. It's a very unscientific sample, of course, but it seems the people who went to the original clinic in Rochester MN had better experiences overall than those who went to AZ or FL--not sure why this should be.

On the other hand, I've heard far fewer bad reports from those who went to Cornell-Weill, Jack Miller in Chicago, or Hopkins; I suspect that at those places the neurology departments have more doctors/researchers intrested in peripheral nerve damage and more inquisitiveness into "unusual" cases.
