I do not have any experience with Mayo directly. I have heard that they have wonderful doctors there. The surgeon that I see works at shriners in MN but his main job is at Mayo. He is an excellent doctor! He also works closly with 3 bpi specialist at the Mayo. I believe I will go there when I am out of the shriners system.
Hope this info is helpful.

mayo are probably the most experienced in advanced trauma bpi treatment in the US right now. Try asking on the traumatic injured adults board, many people there go to mayo.

We too doctor at Gillette in MN. I had looked into Mayo but only found information on TBPI. We are very happy with the BPI team at Gillette. We live about 3 1/2 hours NW of the cities. Good luck and feel free to e-mail me! ~ Tara
