@migizil. I understand that you’ve tried to go to Mayo for your health problems, but were turned down. You also said that you’ve never worked through your primary. This can be part of the problem. Most all specialists require a referral from the PCP. There are several reasons for this, the main one being that the specialist wants to know that the PCP is in the loop, and that the patient has not decided to see a specialist on their own. I know it can be a problem, but it’s there and we need to work with it.
Do you think you can see your PCP again and discuss your hopes of going to Mayo?

I’m not sure who I’m replying to anymore but i see a number of specialists at Mayo and have not been turned down for those services. It has always been to be seen for primary care (ie, internal medicine or general practitioner). Thanks for keeping in touch.
