@nancyworld, consultative practice involves patient care. Take a condition like cancer. Patients come to Mayo Clinic for a second opinion, get an evaluation and a treatment plan. The patient has the option to continue the treatment plan at Mayo Clinic or to return to a facility closer to home. For example, some patients choose to have surgery at Mayo Clinic, but chemotherapy in the home state.

Thanks, @colleenyoung (Colleen), but I think we may have a disconnect in our communication here. Both @aaroncush and I are primary care patients at Mayo in Arizona. I've been going to the Clinic in Scottsdale for over 20 years.
I think he may be reporting that the neurology department in AZ is currently short-staffed, maybe since his neurologist left. I only see one neurologist currently listed at Mayo in AZ. Therefore they may be managing patients, including local patients, differently now than previously.
