I would recommend your son starts the process to request an appointment at Mayo Rochester. If he decides to continue treatment in Iowa, that is OK, but at least if he contacts Mayo, he is starting process if he decides to seek a 2nd opinion. Often Mayo specialist can work with local providers to develop a treatment plan.

He can self-refer or ask his provider to refer him.
The process starts here: http://mayocl.in/1mtmR63

Thanks Laurie. Spoke with him earlier today and he has already filled out the appointment request. Just waiting to hear back from someone at Mayo.

Do we have any idea how long it takes them to get back to my son after submitting the request?
