I’m trying to get some questions answered and also figure out how do I go about getting an appointment

I was first referred to Mayo by my cardiologist. My first referral went to Mayo at Jacksonville but then they said it best to go straight to Rochester. We contacted Rochester ourselves. It did take some time- I believe maybe 3 months to get the appointment, then everything happened rather quickly. If your doctor will not refer you reach out your self. It is important to have all your tests and scans ready to send when asked to help speed up and facilitate the process. Reach out to the closest Mayo first, I found that was the best way to get my foot in the door. And you may not hear back right away- it was 2 weeks before I got a return call. But be patient— there is a reason so many people seek care there. Hope this helps a little…. Take care

To request an appointment with Mayo Clinic experts, start here: http://mayocl.in/1mtmR63
You can self-refer by completing the online form or call the Mayo Clinic location of your choice. Or you may prefer to ask your doctor to submit a physician referral. It looks like you have all your records to make the submission yourself.
