Mayo Clinic Rochester Appointments -- What to Expect
For anyone who's had an appointment at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, I'd appreciate any advice on what to expect. Did you just have a consultation, or was that followed by any testing that could last a day or more? The scheduler I spoke with seemed unsure on whether or not any testing would be scheduled in the days following a consultation. I got the impression it might depend on the Dr and what the medical circumstances were. Thank you!

Hi
I have been going to Mayo for 8 years
They use a team approach
Best thing to do is just come well rested and be ready for lots of testing and appointments!

1 ReactionTo clarify my question about Mayo Clinic Rochester, I am specifically looking for feedback from anyone who went there for osteoporosis. Thanks!
@ripley I see an endocrinologist at Mayo in Rochester for osteoporosis. I was already a patient at Mayo so this came through a referral within Mayo Clinic. I saw the doctor first for a consultation that was very thorough. He then ordered testing based on the consultation that included a blood draw and a bone density scan. I'd had a bone density scan about 18 months before at Mayo so he had comparison bone density results. When I saw him a few weeks after our initial appointment we could have met virtually but I was already at Mayo Clinic for other appointments. I'm scheduled to see the doctor again in September for my one year follow-up. A bone density scan is scheduled and I will meet with him again.
