Hi @sinojosvacios That was a fantastic response from Mayo! Yes, it’s typical to have placement with one specialist when first being seen. Being placed with the director of that department is excellent.
So, basically what happens at Mayo, and I’ve been on the receiving end of this myself, is that you’ll have a specialist who becomes essentially the ‘project manager’…just tossing that term out there loosely.
This first team will be responsible for blood work, lab testing, procedures, etc. Then, when results are in, consults will be directed to other departments if necessary. Those doctors then meet to discuss your case and boom, you have a collaborative team from all disciplines. And it’s usually all in-house. Once at the clinic, appointments can happen within hours and days. You’re not being sent from one clinic to another over many months just to get an appointment. It’s a beautiful thing! ☺️
From what I’m gathering with the quick response, is that your case is a bit rare. It has piqued the interest of the director. You’re also having symptoms and the sooner you get the testing and confirmations out of the way, the sooner they may find treatment options to get you back to health.

You mentioned the main campus. Is this Rochester? That’s my home away from home so if there’s anything I can help you with just let me know. In which department will you be seen first?
