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.

@gilkesl I had the surgeons notes sent to them. It was my first time dealing with them and when I messaged them they told me what to have sent not mentioning I needed a doctor to contact them . The pain doctor suggested I go to Rochester because he done his residency there. He don’t usually write referrals to Mayo but was willing to this time since I got denied. So I had no other doctor to agree with me.

@gilkesl when you went for the different departments did you have referrals all at the same time. With me having to sleep in a recliner I’m trying to figure out if I go to Rochester about a 9 hour drive being able to ride that far or if I stop for a room trying to find a room with a recliner might be hard to find. I don’t know about how they work the lady I spoke to on my initial call wanted to know what I needed help with I said my back and neck and she said I had to choose. So I wasn’t sure if you can see different specialties while I’m there
