I'm late this this post but maybe it will help someone down , the road. My wife was denied today, and we are dumbfounded and deeply saddened. Mayo was a last hope, after years of pain, a plethora of symptoms, and continual verbal shrugs from the PCP to specialists. All of them working solo on the case. The collective multi-disciplinary approach was where we once had hope. We never expect miracles, but to not even be given a chance is deeply disappointing, and has brought me a new and very real perspective on Mayo. I guess we'll keep trying - somewhere else.

@rhale, I can imagine that you and your wife feel like your hope has been taken away. As I'm sure you know, Mayo Clinic receives many more requests for appointments than available openings. But why not your wife, right?

I don't want you to give up hope. You can find multi-disciplinary care. Here are some tips from members who have persisted with seeking care at Mayo Clinic or found a facility within the Mayo Clinic Care Network (https://www.mayoclinic.org/about-mayo-clinic/care-network/network-members), or at a large medical facility that models its multi-disciplinary approach similar to Mayo's.
