65 year old male here, 4.8cm thoracic aneurysm. I live in central Florida and, like you, wanted to get my ducks in a row regarding a potential surgery. I was able to get in with a Mayo Jacksonville cardiologist, and he is my portal into the Mayo system for a surgeon should I need one in the future. I have already been able to get referred to a Mayo electrophysiologist for an ablation to address afib. Your insurance company directory might identify doctors who are accepting new patients at the facility you want. Start seeing him/her for a related or unrelated condition and you may be eligible for an internal referral.

@jefftalley - I never thought about that. For some reason, I thought I'd never be able to become a regular patient of a cardiologist at Rochester (the closest major hospital). I'll look into it. I got a 98th percentile CAC score along with my aneurysm diagnosis. I'd be thrilled to have a Mayo doctor monitoring the problems.
