Does Mayo provide 2nd Opinions to interpret Prostate MRI?

PSA rising: MRI in February of 2025 at the VA in Gainesville, Florida. Also PET scan. RESULT: No definitive indication of prostate cancer. I thought about a second opinion or having the process done again at Mayo in Jacksonville, Florida. I called and spent some time on the phone. Endstate: I now have a client number and full medical history on file. I have TriCare for Life, which means 100% of all medical is paid (former US Army officer now retired).
From the conversation with the very kind and courteous Mayo administrative rep, they usually want a face-to-face with Mayo doctors and the client. It is an option not yet been done because PSA has slowed. Always consider a second opinion and Mayo Clinic is one of the nation's best medical options. There is a Marriott Hotel very nearby whereas one can walk to the main clinic. RH/Florida

I have been a patient at Mayo Clinic Jacksonville since 2006. My diagnostics test were done a Mayo Jacksonville for PC. I had a second opinion done at UFHPTI (Jacksonville) and chose to have proton radiation there instead to photon radiation at Mayo Jacksonville.
May Jacksonville is building a brand new cancer center that will open in 2026. The new center will have proton radiation where now those (children, eye cancer, brain cancer, etc.) needing the specific benefits of proton beam are referred to UFHPTI.
I am not sure who you post was intended for but in addition to Marriott Courtyard there are many close motels like Hilton, Resident Inn all very close by who offer transportation to/from Mayo Clinic. Before I moved to Jacksonville area I stayed many times as Marriott Courtyard.
