@jwool89, I'm glad you were able to get an appointment with pulmonology as alpha-1 antitrypsin (AAT) deficiency is your root concern. As you mentioned, it is known that AAT raises your risk for lung and other diseases, like liver and GI issues. The Mayo pulmonologist will be your main physician and will order referrals to related departments during your visit at Mayo Clinic - your quarterback, so to speak.

Hotels in Rochester offer patient rates and flexibility for shortening or lengthening stays. I recommend contacting Mayo Clinic's free concierge services for planning and recommendations:

Did pulmonology give you an idea of how many days you should plan your visit for? Have you downloaded the patient portal?
