Has anyone been worked up at Mayo?

I went to the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN in late April this year. I was given a program with a battery of testing to be done the day before my doctor appointment. That included xray and CT (without contrast), blood draw, spirometer, EKG and 4 other tests. After speaking with the doctor, he ordered rhinoscopy, and the test with barium that is consumed in while standing, laying on stomach, laying on each side. I found via portal, that I had GERD too. I am supposed to return in 5-7 months, which is pretty much now. Not able to get any appoints, so I’m told I’m on the wait list and will be called when one opens up. There are already tests in my portal that I will need when I go back. Sadly, the tests done after seeing the doctor did not lead to any interactions with the ordering pulmonologist there. I need to wait for my next visit. One blood test of particular interest to me, was a DNA test on a specific gene - it determines if MS or not; The other components determines if you are susceptible to lung issues. That one was positive, not the MS thankfully, but interesting read on the portal.

HI Gtokaren, Thanks for your detailed sharing . It looks like you have a comprehensive check up and some issues are also confirmed.

Is the doctor you saw Dr Timohy Aksamit? I heard he is a very famous doctor. I am supposed to see Dr. Timothy in September and stay there for 3 days for CT and sputum tests. Does anyone see him before? Any input?
