Hi @bakerranch88. In Rochester there’s a “checker desk” located in the Gonda lobby and admissions area where patients can talk with a representative, discuss what appointments they would like to get into early and the checker desk does the calling to rearrange the patients schedule. This is strictly for consultation not testing. Also, please keep in mind that not all departments accept checkers but the majority do.

To get some specifics, I’d suggest calling the Concierge desk where they can give you all the details on how to participate in the Checker program.

Good luck. I hope you’re able to get an appointment.

Here’s a link to Mayo’s appointment request page: http://mayocl.in/1mtmR63 Have you tried using the referral route

@bakerranch88 Yes, you can ask to be at checker at the check-in desks where you are scheduled go for testing. I did my neurology testing a day early by being a checker. I waited a couple hours, and got the last appointment that day which I think was at 4 PM. Just go where your schedule tells you early with your printed schedule and ask to be on a waiting list. My tests were done in the Neurology department in the Gonda building. No guarantees that you can go early, but it is very common. I was also a checker on a different visit to Mayo for asthma testing. Bring something to read or do while you wait. There are some public computers in the waiting area that you can use.
