@kimmorris19 Hello and welcome to Connect. You might want to ask the secretary of the specialist you will be seeing how much time you should expect to be at Mayo. If they need to refer your daughter to other departments or do more testing, your stay could be extended to the next week. The Clinic is closed on weekends. I suggest call your hotel and ask about extending the stay. I have extended my stay while at a hotel there and they were very accommodating about it. If you book more days, you could always cancel the remainder if you don't need them. The first time I went, that was the case when they didn't have an opening for an MRI until the following week. I had an event to attend that weekend and couldn't stay over, so I chose to return to Mayo a week later to complete the MRI, and review it with the doctor who was ordering it. I drove to Mayo, so that was easy to do. I enjoyed being at Mayo and I loved all the artwork that is everywhere. If you have not received the call you were expecting, you can call them during business hours, and ask again because you need to be able to schedule your visit. How soon do you leave?

I was considering going to Mayo but after reading about how patients are treated-I don't think so.

In the past I have gone to Presbyterian Hospital in NY. This hospital scheduled all necessary tests in one day. I was given a schedule to follow for the day. At the end of the day I was told my problem and problem fixes, or I will be contacted within the week, or the Dr. would tell me he was not sure but would contact a Dr. that did know.

I attempted in the past to try and find out if Mayo had this patient service and could never get an answer. Now I know.
