i tried to get an appt for a second opinion re my meningoma at mayo —the bureaucracy was so burdensome, i don’t have the energy to continue jumping through the flaming hoops required for a neuro or neuro-surgery consult. its not realistic for me to ask the neuro-surgery i don’t have confidence in for a referral to mayo. The pancreatic clinic at Mayo./florida was non-bureaucratic and helpful

@elisabeth007, I'm sorry to hear that you are having trouble requesting a second opinion for a neuro-surgery consult. Am I understanding correctly that you were self-referring through the appointment request here: http://mayocl.in/1mtmR63

I have also tried to get an appt at Mayo Jacksonville and they told me 4-5 times they do not treat Meningiomas there. I couldn't get an appt from them so I called Duke and it was easy peasy!!
