Neurosurgeon visit: Should I get another appointment?

@birdie1234, there seems to have been some miscommunication. I suggest calling Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville again to clarify. Meningiomas are treated at Mayo in Florida. Without knowing the specifics of your situation, I can only venture to guess that there was miscommunication or it is possible that your situation needs care or treatment like proton beam only offered at the Rochester location.

Colloeen......I guess this question is back in your lap. I called Mayo/Jacksonville today ( second time) and they once again told me they do not treat meningioma tumors. ( cervical ) I spoke to a different young lady this time named Rene in the neuro dept. and she checked with someone to give me the same answer. We would like to go to Jacksonville as they are much closer to us than Rochester. Is Rochester my only choice?? Thanks for your help!

Thanks Colleen...I will call again. I spoke to a young lady there that was very definite that they did not treat Meningioma's at the Jacksonville location. I will call again tomorrow and I hope the person that was on here that I told that Mayo/Jacksonville doesn't treat Meningioma's reads this and calls there also. I think they need to train their employees better in Jacksonville!! Thanks for your help!!
