Yesterday I filled out an appointment request and asked for a virtual 2nd opinion/diagnosis for my conditions since there is no consensus on my diagnosis between many doctors.
I received a call today and was told that Mayo Clinic does not offer a virtual/on-line 2nd opinions. I am in Colorado and unable to travel so I was hoping to get additional input online.
Can Mayo Clinic help me with virtual visits & 2nd opinions?
Mayo makes it easy to self refer because they have a process which you can start on line or by calling. Other places don't necessarily have that and the best way to get a 2nd opinion is through doctors referral. They can generally get you in quicker. It's helpful to know which centers have the expertise in the area you need. A great source of info is the pancreatic cancer network (Google them). They will do a personalized search for you by calling their patient services line. Best of luck to you.
