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.

@stevemurphyaz, you're right that Primary Care at Mayo Clinic in Arizona is not accepting new patients at the moment. As a current patient, I hope that you are able to switch providers. It sounds like you have taken the appropriate steps to address your concerns, but that it might not be possible at this time due to capacity. It would be disappointing to have to leave Mayo Clinic over this.
I can understand that it could be uncomfortable to speak to your current provider about this even though asking for a female physician for your wife's care is a reasonable request. The best course of action is the Office of Patient Experience or the adminstrator of the the Family Practice.
