Is there a place similar to Mayo Clinic in southern California?
An acquaintance of mine lives in Minnesota and was able to go to Mayo Clinic when she had a hard time getting a diagnosis from her local doctors. Another friend, a local one, is having symptoms that seem to be confusing one doctor after another. Minnesota is a long way off....is there any place like a Mayo Clinic here in southern California?
