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

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.

@gottab, thanks for the additional information. Now I understand better. Currently, Mayo Clinic has more requests for appointments than available openings, and some departments like internal medicine and GI are in particularly high demand.

I wonder if looking for a hospital associated with the Mayo Clinic Care Network might be an option for you.
"The Mayo Clinic Care Network is a select group of independent health systems that are granted special access to Mayo Clinic's extensive knowledge and world-leading medical expertise. Carefully vetted and selected for their commitment to high-quality patient experience, care network members share Mayo Clinic's goal of providing patients the care they need, close to home, at no additional cost to the patient."
