@wilson249 Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect ! I’m glad you found us! You’ve certainly asked a good question. I like @sillyblone ’s suggestion of getting a second opinion unless appointments are months-out and the procedure you needs to be done ASAP. In most cases, insurance will cover a 2nd opinion.
I’m speaking now as an RN. You may want to get a new MD after the procedure is done. A new doctor will want all the tests re-done and that costs money which insurance won’t like. As soon as the procedure is done and you’re home recovering, start getting all the information you may need and proceed from there. I hope this was a little helpful.
