Desperate, want to see the Mayo Clinic, but skeptical

Hello. How do I self-refer? Also, do I need to choose a specialty, or can that be determined for me based on information I submit. As I mentioned above, my diagnoses for now I believe would be "Pelvic Floor Dysfunction" probably, or if I go with my most recent PT, they used the ICD code "R10.2 Pelvic and perineal pain". I also have pain that radiates down my leg from the perineal area and goes all the way into my big toe... so I wonder if the problem is possibly more general than that. Spinal, some other musculoskeletal or neurological? I don't know, which is why I'm unsure if I should go straight to Urology again at Mayo or not.

@scronwell, click this link http://mayocl.in/1mtmR63 to find out more about how to submit a request for self-referral. You can submit through the online form or simply call the location of your choice.

You will be asked about your primary concern. You can suggest a specialty, but do not need to if you are unsure.

I have been going to Mayo Jacksonville since 2006. When I came there in 2006 there was no hospital yet and the Davis building was the main building with very few other buildings. Since then a major hospital, dozens of other buildings.

I was extremely happy with Mayo Jacksonville and experience what that call Team Approach. If you are seeing a specialist they will concur with other specialist as many diseases and treatments overlap each other. You will get a thorough evaluations, treatments, and options.

I just went there today do have a ECG and see my Electrophsioloigst PA. She stated she will discuss her finding with Electrophysiologist to see is he concurs and will let me know. Then asked about when I see the heart failure specialist as she is sending the ECG and her office visit results to him also. This is just a mention of the team approach.

I know forum is for prostrate cancer but wanted to pass on that give Mayo a chance it is not like other providers you are not a number. I recenlty went to a orthopedic specialist after a CT on spine. It came came with all these ailments. But my orthopedic specialist said to me, "we do not treat xrays we treat patients." You are not a number at Mayo Clinic your a patient and remember Mayo's motto, "The needs of the patient come first."
