Hi Colleen,
I would like to get a second opinion at Mayo clinic. How does one even start the process?
With all of my health issues do I send information up to the clinic. I know I have many complex condition but I don't go to the doctor much. I go for yearly follow ups but everyone seems to not really give a hoot or at least that's how I feel, and when I have a new health issue they treat the symptoms but not the root cause.
Are my health issues due to a genetic disorder that my cells have an issue picking up B12 as show by the Vitamin B12 Binding Capacity, Unsaturated (Transcobalamin) B12 Binding 638 pg/mL 650-1340 L Cap Abnormal Flag: L Reference Range: 650-1340) . But why are my other tests folate/B12 are high normal. The supplements are in my blood stream but the cells aren't picking them up correctly?
Thanks,
Pat

Hi Pat,
Mayo Clinic's website walks you through the process here: http://mayocl.in/1mtmR63

On this webpage, you'll find information about:
1. Submitting an online form to request an appointment. It's quite easy.
2. If you prefer, you can call Mayo Clinic and talk with someone to guide you through.
3. Alternatively, you can ask your doctor to submit a physician referral.

Also on the page is a link to Frequently Asked Questions. Let me know if there's anything that's unclear.
