Is it difficult to get an appointment with Mayo in MN?

My doctor suggested Mayo in Rochester. So I contacted them and sent all my info, X-rays, CT’s, MRI’s and was told on a Wednesday they would turn everything over to the doctors and would know something in 4-6 weeks . She said I could send my Emg report in about 2 weeks they would add it. The doctor looked at it the same day mailed out a letter on Friday and I got it on Monday , stating the have a lot of patients coming to them and sorry there’s nothing they can do. No suggestions or nothing, do I called out there and was told if a doc will write them they will review it. I’m waiting because my doctor fell and broke his neck not sure when he will return. His NP has agreed to write the letter and hopefully gets it sent out this week .

I've been to Mayo FL in different departments. Generally they want a referral from a doctor that indicates the diagnosis and all the failed treatments that have been tried- drugs, PT, shots, etc.

@sbtheplumber1 Did the letter that you received from Mayo say that they could not offer an appointment because they are overwhelmed with more patients at his time than they can handle? There are other well respected medical centers such as Cleveland Clinic, or Barrow Neurological in Arizona. From what you are saying, did Mayo not receive all of your information before rending a decision and is that why your NP is writing a letter on your behalf?
