Hi there again, Thanks for the response but I don't live near Rochester, and I can't travel right now. I have a Mayo Clinic here in Phoenix but they won't give me an appointment soon, they give them a month or 2 or more. They won't budge on that! As a matter of fact if you make a big deal about it they won't see you at all! They are very independent about their doctors, and appointments! The other doctors here in the area are just average, and they too are filled up with appointments. This place needs more doctors!

Can you tell me what I should do?

I would ask them if they have a waiting list you can be put on. All doctors have appointments that cancel, creating an opening for someone like you. Hope this helps.

Try a teaching hospital's GI clinic and if it's not soon enough get on their cancellation list. Or get another doc to get you in sooner. And insist nicely- you deserve timely care. I had a small bowel resection am doing well. Good luck.

Ive tried Mayo Clinc they're a JOKE! They won't see em foe a few months from now. I need to know NAMES of DRS I can call to see me, and then do a colonoscopy. PLEASE HELP ME!

I have had lots of studies done at the Strong Memorial Medical Center in Rochester, at The Gastrointestinal Hepatology Cinic there, including colonoscopies, and there are lots of doctors. I can't imagine you wouldn't get im soon. Remember to advocate for your self.

I don't live in Rochester I live in Scottsdale, Az. The Mayo Clinic here is very busy, and want't get me in for months.
