Dr. Marie Catherine Hogan, MD

Dr Hogan is great. She has been fantastic over the years I have been seeing her and even got me transferred to other doctors and managed to book tests for another condition that I developed.

A Nephrologist With Skill and Empathy Dr. Hogan is the first nephrologist who didn’t see me as a chart full of complications. She saw me as a whole person. After years of recurrent stones, sepsis, and losing a kidney to infection, I assumed my journey would always be about “managing what’s left.” She changed that. She worked through every possibility, looked at biochemical patterns, reviewed my immune history, connected genetics, metabolism, diet, and even autoimmune processes. She searched for answers where others had stopped looking.What sets her apart is the combination of brilliance and humanity. She listens, she explains her reasoning, and she invites you into it. She doesn’t give up on function that can be saved. She thinks outside the box, she collaborates with other Mayo specialists, and she treats complex cases like puzzles worth solving — not burdens to move past.Because of Dr. Hogan, I feel hope where I used to feel fear. She is extraordinary.– Anne Jackson

Dr Marie Hogan works hard for her patients. She listens to her patients and cares about them.

Dr. Hogan was the 13th doctor I saw (5th nephrologist) while seeking answers to my pain and kidney issues. I was diagnosed with very mild IgAN, so all other doctors shrugged me off. Dr. Hogan was the first doctor to dig deeper for the cause of my pain. She read my biopsy in full and found the underlining problem. She comes very intense but she truly cares about getting to know her patients and helping them!

I was born with polycystic kidney disease and had a particularly aggressive form it. I have been a patient of Dr. Hogan’s since July 2018. Contrary to the other reviewers here, I have lengthy experience being Dr. Hogan's patient. In short, Dr. Hogan is a highly experienced physician with unrivaled knowledge of PKD. She guided me through the transplant process and was kind and focused the entire time. I ended up having a combined kidney-liver transplant in December 2019 and it has been successful. I strongly encourage any person suffering from PKD to contact this renowned physician. She saved my life, and I cannot thank her enough for her unyielding efforts. Please treat Dr. Hogan with adequate respect given her lifelong dedication to her medical practice.

First time meeting Dr. Hogan and was not impressed at all. After introductions she asked if we were at Mayo's for a miracle drug. She proceeded to ask questions but didn't wait for a full response and would interrupt. Then she treated my husband like a little kid making him read out loud a list of foods that he should not eat due to high levels. We didn't have full faith in our doctor at home and wanted the best 2nd opinion possible. We didn't drive 4.5 hours to be ridiculed by a "professional".

After a several months of challenging health emergencies I became a patient of Dr Hogan. I found her to be very attentive to each of my concerns. She listened to what I was saying and created an 11 point plan to address each issue until everything was resolved. I am very grateful and feel her attentiveness resolved what my local doctors didn't. Dr Hogan was wonderful! Mayo clinic is fortunate to have her on staff.

I found Marie Hogan to be temperamental, unprepared, and mean-spirited. She did not review any part of my medical record and seemed to have no idea of why I was coming to her for advice. She ignored the previous diagnosis and launched into an entirely different subject that had already been taken care of by a previous doctor. My appointment with her was an unpleasant waste of time. She is certainly the exception to the rule at Mayo where almost every physician is outstanding.

Dr. Hogan is a wonderful, kind, and caring doctor. She helped me understand about PKD and getting ready for my kidney transplant. I can't thank her enough.
