Can't get an appointment: Any tips on what to do?

Mayo is selective in choosing who they will help. After jumping through their requested hoop and having a test done, they said they could not help me. Very elitist!

@gottab, I'm sorry to hear of your disappointment with Mayo Clinic. Can you tell me a bit more? Did you get an appointment with Mayo? Or did they determine based on your history and test results that they could not provide additional care beyond the care you are currently receiving?

I asked for an appointment for recurrent abdominal hernia. Mayo then said they needed from me a current ct scan of the area, which I had done, and then sent it to them. Shortly after got a call from one of their bank of operators who said they could not help me. I then asked if that meant Mayo would never accept me and he said yes. So, I am forced to write off Mayo for any of my future needs.

When I briefly lived in Arizona and sent CD of cervical images I was told they couldn’t help me. Don’t know if being a Medicare patient determines that? However, since returning to the Midwest I have been seen at Mayo in Rochester.
