Well, my hematologist supposedly tried to get me an appointment three years ago. I was finally told (after I called his office and never hearing back) that May Clinic was not taking any new patients for Hematology. It was on this chat platform that someone recommended that I try without a referral to get an appointment, so that's what I did. I logged in, requested an appointment and they called me to set up another call, but unfortunately, Hematology is not taking new patients BUT Rheumatology was. Just trying to get my foot in the door and maybe, just maybe I can eventually be seen by the Hematology dept. That's how I got the appointment. Good Luck!

Thanks! Which location did you call?

You are on the right step…I got in to Mayo via GI. Then primary care. I have only been with Rheumatology a few years, and only once they had hired a new Rheumatologist for the department in Mayo AZ. (I got my husband into Mayo by making an appt for him with me in the Mayo Travel Clinic (Infectious Diseases). Once he had a Mayo patient # I was able to get him in with the same PCP that I had…and was accepting new patients; now he also gets referrals from our primary care physician to whomever he needs to see. Keep trying!
