Hi @afrochic,

International patients can request an appointment at any Mayo Clinic location online, here: http://www.mayoclinic.org/departments-centers/international/appointments
You could also call one of our appointment offices. The contact information for all 3 Mayo Clinic locations (Minnesota, Arizona, Florida) can be found here: http://mayocl.in/1mtmR63
The Clinic’s representatives/schedulers will ask questions to help direct you to the best specialist, either at Mayo or closer to home.

I’m thrilled to hear that you are coming to United States for grad school! Might I suggest you use these resources for insurance and billing questions. Or contact Patient Account Services for help.
