In May of 2024, My husband was diagnosed with MCI and early onset Alzheimer’s by a neurologist in Green Bay, WI. It took a few year to convince his general practitioner to refer us to a neurologist. My husband will only see a neuropsychologist at Mayo. Mayo Clinic in Minnesota is 5 hours from our home.
This past week I submitted the online request for an appointment for my husband to be seen at Mayo and followed up with a phone call. He is on a 9 month wait list to be able to schedule an appointment. My husband’s behavior is changing daily and I am hoping he will still be a candidate for some other therapy other than taking Aricept.
I am open to any suggestions as to how I can get him sooner.

I am sorry for your predicament. A 5 hour drive to Rochester is a tough call. Especially if they determine he needs to be seen regularly. I have not heard back yet about my request for an initial appointment but we only live 1 1/2 hrs away from Mayo. It sounds like your husband is knowledgeable about this disease since he is adamant about seeing only a neuropsychologist. Maybe check around near Milwaukee or even Chicago? At least your drive would be shorter. Good luck and hugs to you.
