I live in Orlando but I am looking at the TULSA procedure and Mayo Jacksonville. Can you please share your experience there so far? How long you waited to get an appt and who you saw there?

My apologies, I just saw your post. I have been approved now for the procedure and met with the doctor Ram Pathak, M.D. I asked if I wanted to schedule how soon they could do the procedure, he said like 3 weeks. They may have more scheduled now that it is a covered procedure. I had to do a ct pelvis scan to rule out calcium deposits, he said if there is any that he cannot do the Tulsa, I just finished the scan and it is clear. I am on a diet, I am overweight, so losing some weight before the procedure so that recovery will be easier, I will be scheduling soon. I really love mayo, there has been no other hospital better. They value you, and value your time, they spend all the time with you that you need and answer all questions so that I understand. Let me know if I can answer any more questions, please contact me.
