Anyone been to Neurology at Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, FL?

First FL visit Neuro Eval Tuesday 9/7
I confirmed my appointment in Jacksonville today for Tuesday morning. I have a nurse appointment and then an evaluation appointment with a Neurologist. Two things.
First, my medical condition only allows me to be vertical/upright for a few minutes before I black out. Monday I will call the clinic so I’m hoping they’ll accommodate me as my local home doctors have.
Second, should I expect to stay in town for tests and such following an evaluation appointment? My detailed appointment letter doesn’t specify anything further than the appointment. I have family in Jacksonville so this isn’t a hardship but I have children at home so need to ensure they are cared for.
Thanks in advance!
Autumn

Hi Autumn, yeah that first letter doesn't give much information. Colleen is correct, set up you Mayo portal and things will fill in as the time gets closer. Your initial appoint will be there, and then 7 days before some questionnaires will appear. I had my initial appt with Dr Rozen, in Feb this year, after seeing him, he requested several tests and appointments with other doctors. We scheduled our hotel room for the week and let him know that we were only there for 4 days. The staff communicates with the other groups so effectively (really wish other systems worked as well as the Mayo), that I was able to get in all the appointments that week. Then scheduled follow ups once the results were finalized, which also were extremely fast. It is all driven by the first initial contact and where they think you should be seen next. Best of luck.

Welcome, @autum07. Fantastic that you reached out to prepare for your first visit to Mayo Clinic neurology in Jacksonville, Florida. You'll notice that I moved your question to this existing discussion where Joanne asked a similar question and got so many helpful responses. See :
- Mayo Neurology group: Anyone been to Mayo in Jacksonville, FL? https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/mayo-neurology-group/
I moved your message so you could read the previous posts and easily connect with fellow Mayo FL patients, like @ees1 @bethanderson49 @nancy82415 @ronstahl12 @lindes @ess77 @bsrice, to ask them questions as they come up over the weekend as you prepare for Tuesday's visit. Many of them have been to neurology specifically and can give you a good picture.
It's a good idea to call ahead and let them know about your need to not be vertical for more than a few minutes. The entire team and staff will accommodate you. Keep in mind that Monday is a holiday. You might put a message on your patient portal. Did you create an account yet?
Having your account created helps organize your appointments etc while on campus too.
At your evaluation appointment, the team will determine what further testing and appointments may be necessary. Usually these will be accommodated same day or within a short period of time. It might be wise to arrange for your children at home for a couple of days just to be sure.
