@kaf80, it can be unsettling to not know what to expect and to not have a firm schedule and plan laid out before you go. But as you can see from the replies you've received from other members, you are in good hands. Mayo Clinic doesn't book additional appointments for testing or referrals to relevant specialists until your father has had his first consult. At that time, it will be determine what is required and they will make all the necessary arrangements for putting together a plan and a schedule for you.

You'll notice that I merged the 3 discussions you started on the same/related topic about how to prepare for your first visit into one discussion thread. I did this so you can read all the great advice you've received over the past couple of weeks in one place starting here:
