Husband is dealing with
pretty recent oncoming of memory loss, fatigue and depression. Have done all tests and treatments possible that our physician recommended. He suggested the Mayo clinic neurology dept but not only can we not get an appt but there's no wait list or hope for the future. I never thought I would see the day when you can't get an appointment, even if a ways out. I would even be okay with a telephone appt which would at least be a start. Not sure what to do next. He has worked hard all his life and deserves some answers and treatment.

@mcg6 , I live in Fla and I had records and referral from a GI here sent to Mayo Clinic Jacksonville.. took a few calls but finally after 4 months on waitlist I got a televisit for 2 months later .
I had televisit in early Sept with Gastro Dr there . Im going for my 3 tests Sun Tues this week .
Don’t give up . Keep calling and ask for the specific dept you need him to see .
Have your Dr. send medical records and referral ahead of time . Best wishes. Rosemary

Hi @mcg6, have you considered trying to book an appointment with neurology at a different Mayo Clinic location?
