Hi Christiane, welcome. I can imagine that you are feeling disappointed and desperate. You'll notice that I moved your question to this existing discussion where members offer tips on what to do if you can't get an appointment. I invite you to read through the past posts.

If you feel that the Mayo physicians may rule differently with a complete set of your records, I suggest you call Mayo Clinic to ask for a secondary review after you've sent the remaining documentation.

I should add that appointment denial may be related to capacity issues. The department may not be accepting new patients at this time. Again, I would ask for clarification.

Another option is to consider seeing a doctor within the Mayo Clinic Care Network https://www.mayoclinic.org/about-mayo-clinic/care-network.
