I have been trying to get into Mayo for about three months now to see a neurologist. They keep saying "none is available" I wonder if that is true or are they not taking Medicare at this time.

@hjeff, I’m sorry to hear that you are have not been able to get an appointment with a neurologist. It sounds like you’ve taken the appropriate steps to seek care at Mayo Clinic. There may be several reasons that an appointment was not available. Over the last few years, Mayo Clinic has experienced unusually high demand for appointments, which has exceeded the capacity (appointments available). Or after reviewing your case, Mayo's physician experts may have determined that Mayo Clinic cannot offer any further treatment different from that you are already receiving.

Neurology is a large practice area. May I ask which condition you are requesting an appointment for? Did you submit the referral or did your doctor submit the referral?
