Well, Mayo would not give me an apt. Told me to mail records, then sent letter denying apt before they even received them. Changed their story every time I
called. So, I have lost all faith in Mayo. Did same thing when I tried to get an apt for my migraines. You have to be sick enough but not too sick or it will bring their success rates down and they won’t get donations.

Hi Sally, it is tough getting that denial letter. It sounds like you’ve taken the appropriate steps to seek care at Mayo Clinic. Unfortunately Mayo Clinic has more requests for appointments than available openings.

I wonder if you might consider the Mayo Clinic Health System https://www.mayoclinichealthsystem.org/

Or the Mayo Clinic Care Network. The 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. The Mayo Clinic Care Network helps keep care local by providing guidance and answers to many questions that might otherwise require a referral to a specialist. See the member hospitals here:

If I understand from your original post, you are currently in the care of a colorectal surgeon. Is that right? Will they do the Sitz Marker test?
