Hi @stevemurphyaz, I assume from your username that you are referring to Community Medicine and Family Practice at Mayo Clinic in Arizona. There are several Primary Care locations (as you likely already know)
https://www.mayoclinic.org/departments-centers/primary-care-arizona/sections/overview/ovc-20457292
Primary Care — Community Internal Medicine (Scottsdale)
Primary Care — Family Medicine Arrowhead (Glendale)
Primary Care — Family Medicine Phoenix
Primary Care — Family Medicine San Tan (Chandler)
Primary Care — Family Medicine Thunderbird (Scottsdale)

Generally, you are encouraged to speak to your current provider and/or practice to request a change of provider. Keep in mind that there may be capacity issues. If necessary, you can also speak with the Office of Patient Experience. But I would start by raising your wife's valid request of wishing to be seen by a female physician.

Thank you for the response, Colleen. A conversation with our current provider would be incredibly uncomfortable for us. We've had interactions with the Office of Patient Experience in the past that have been, shall we say, less than positive. As far as the practice we're interested in, it would be Family Medicine Phoenix. When we checked the website, it says that none of the Family Practice locations are accepting new patients. I honestly feel that, unless someone can help us, we're going to have to leave Mayo and that's greatly disappointing to us.
