I would like you to call Mayo Clinic on your own. I don’t know why your doctor was refused, but Mayo will make an appointment for anyone. They might have a back log, but you should get an appointment.
When you call, say you need appointment with …. Name the department. The person will ask you for some details to make sure you get the best doctor. Mayo is in Iowa, or call the main number in Rochester if you can get there. They see millions each year, there is no logical reason for turning you down.
Please make an effort on your own wo your doctor. As they work as a team, if first doctor can’t help, you will be referred to another. I pray for you getting the best help possible.

Thank you for the reply! Mayo actually called me after my doctors referral and took my information, then sent me a link for electronic paperwork to fill out. I did so, then a few days later got an automated email saying my referral had been reviewed and unfortunately they couldn’t offer me an appointment at this time due to their being at max capacity. One of my doctors told me to apply again so I did so myself. I got another call back and they started going over the process with me on the phone but noticed I had already had a doctor’s referral reviewed/rejected and that their process is to wait a year until you can apply again. I think the problem was since there is no diagnosis yet, I had to be referred to internal medicine and they are very busy. I was told I could get a referral to a specialist if I get a diagnosis, etc. I think they are just really backed up right now with cases and are at max capacity.
