I had ileostomy in 2010 and the emergency volulus surgery a little over a year ago. Saved my life. The operating surgeon said no more surgeries due to adhesions. I asked too go to UCLA or USC but found that Kaiser insurance does not refer out of their network. How did you get into Mayo?

I called the Gastroenterology and Hepatology scheduling office at (507) 284-2511, Rochester, MN, and asked for an appointment in 2020. You can also request an appointment online: https://www.mayoclinic.org/appointments, or call the Mayo Central Scheduling office at (507) 538-3270.

I've had Blue Cross Blue Shield and United Healthcare at the times I've been seen and treated there and they are considered in-network with almost every care plan.

Mayo is #1 in the US in GI and they see so many cases and medical complexities that they are more familiar with treatment options and approaches. They have a team approach to everything, so they pull care providers into your care team when they see multiple systems in play. They have never let me down and I'm very thankful for the care I've received there.

I'm so sorry. You've had a lot. When we have complex issues, which you do, it's always best to get as many opinions as you need to feel that you've exhausted all options and are getting the most medical benefit possible so that there is at least some relief.

I hope the info helps - and I'd love to know how it goes for you if you decide to go to Mayo.
