@alh123 I'm glad you've looked in to PRC more and feel it may be a fit for you. I understand your insurance concerns and about traveling from Canada.

For me, it was between Florida and Minnesota as they were each a few hour flight to get to from New York. I preferred Florida because Dr. Sletten himself was there and quite simply I'm a more of a tropical kind of girl!

I reached out to Erica Torres, Program Admissions Coordinator at the Florida campus and was advised that the education provided at all 3 campuses is the same however, the locations vary by enrollment/group structure and facilitation of groups. I recommend reaching out first and foremost to understand cost, insurance, etc... that is a pretty big detail.

Here is contact information:

I'm sorry, but I do not have any knowledge of Cleveland Clinic or any other pain rehab programs. I initially applied to be medically evaluated at Mayo because they were the best of the best, however was denied. Basically, my conditions were not further treatable and could be handled in my local area. That was a bit of an ah hah moment which lead me to Dr. Sletten's video. My own common sense and assessment of my symptoms, medications, emotions, behaviors and physical deconditioning, lead me to believe Mayo's PRC was the best rehabilitation center for me.

If you decide that you want to apply directly to Mayo Clinic, here is a link:

There's a lot to think about, but I assure you that dealing with the Mayo Clinic is super easy! Everyone I spoke with on the phone, met in person and worked with at PRC were amazingly helpful and accommodating. I encourage you to reach out.
