Switching Transplant centers for post transplant care

I am six years post Liver transplant and we moved to Phoenix. Transplant occurred at Jewish in Louisville Trager Transplant and I am doing great however my team said I should set up follow up care here and after several recommendations I contacted Mayo and after registering O was told I could not have follow up care with. Mayo due to them not doing transplant.
I was looking forward to follow up and also volunteering to encourage pre and post patients. I am now cycling 75-100 miles per week and hiking and enjoying a full life again. Any recommendations on how one could set up care and Hepatologist going forward ?

I had my liver transplant 1 year ago at USC Keck in LA. I reside in Phoenix and get my follow up care from Banner University. But I am free to call Keck transplant coordinator with any questions and concerns. However, my Dr at Banner has been wonderful!

That’s wonderful you are doing so well and discouraging they would not let you transfer care. I guess I don’t really understand the reasoning behind it especially when you are no longer close to your original center!
