Mayo Clinic is known worldwide for providing comprehensive diagnosis, accurate answers, and detailed explanations to people seeking treatment for both common and uncommon medical problems. This reputation began more than 100 years ago when Mayo Clinic founders Drs. William and Charles Mayo established a system for a doctor to thoroughly investigate patient problems by seeking the opinions and help of other Mayo physicians. Today, Mayo Clinic experts in virtually every medical specialty work together to meet patients' needs. With this depth of medical experience, Mayo* occupies a unique position as a health information resource. Mayo Clinic's major outpatient and hospital facilities are located in Rochester, Minnesota; Jacksonville, Florida; and Scottsdale, Arizona. Other landmark Mayo Clinic books include Mayo Clinic Complete Book of Pregnancy &amp; Baby's First Year and Mayo Clinic Heart Book.
