If you are itemizing your deductions, you can claim expenses for your visit as medical expenses if your total deductible medical expenses exceed 7.5% of your adjusted gross income - otherwise you can't deduct them.

Yes.....but....(with taxes there is always a but...)
1) The mileage, along with the rest of your medical and dental expenses must add up to more than 7.5% of your income before you can deduct dollar one.
2) You must itemize your deductions in order deduct medical expenses. Itemized deductions include medical, mortgage interest, state taxes and charitable contributions. If all of these expenses do not exceed your standard deduction, there is no tax benefit to itemizing.

If you itemize deductions, you can claim a deduction for mileage there and back, but it's not much.

Only if its a work related expense. Or if its above the national benefit amount allocated by the government.
