Mayo in Rochester Neurology recently declined to see me. Maybe Johns Hopkins or Mass. General would be a better option. What do you think?

@jelizabeth There are a lot of different reasons for not being able to get an appointment at Mayo or probably any other hospital. I wouldn't give up trying though. Arachnoiditis from what I've read is very difficult to diagnose and treat. Did Rochester Mayo give any reasons for denying an appointment? Mayo Clinic neurology& neurosurgery is rated in the top 10 for 2020 and Johns Hopkins is number 1 according to Top 20 hospitals for neurology & neurosurgery, by US News & World Report: https://www.beckersspine.com/spine/item/49651-top-20-hospitals-for-neurology-neurosurgery-by-us-news-world-report.html
