@dongshiming, you ask "Can I request a particular provider?" I can answer how it works at Mayo Clinic.
Appointment specialists are specially trained to match you with the provider or group that's the best fit for your diagnosis and medical history. But you may wonder if you can request a specialist that you've read about or who's been recommended by a friend or colleague. Mayo Clinic can't honor all requests, but we try to when possible.

Yes, the Mayo appointment specialists are very good. I first called when I saw I had an unusual chest x-ray. They told me they were scheduling 3 months out but encouraged me to set up a patient account which I did. I had CT and PET scans done at my primary care provider clinic, and Mayo said to have actual scans sent and someone would get back to me within 48 hours. I was called the next morning. I made sure my PCP sent the actual scans immediately!
