Appointment wait time?

Posted by rmfleming @rmfleming, Jan 11 2:51pm

I am a 76 year old male. I am as of today, I'm into my 12th day of persistent Atrial fibrillation my current physician is a cardiac EP in Naples Fl. He is in a one doctor office. I'm on three weeks of blood thinners before he attempts to resolve the heart rhythm . I understand why. If drugs fail and electro conversion does not resolve the rhythm. I would like to go directly to ablation at Mayo in Jacksonville, FL. In that eventuality, how long a wait would I likely encounter to get started at the clinic in Jacksonville?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Visiting Mayo Clinic Support Group.

@rmfleming Good for you for thinking ahead and welcome to Connect. Only Mayo can answer about wait times for available appointments, so I suggest that you call them and ask your questions. Here is the webpage about Jacksonville Cardiology. If you scroll down, you'll find phone numbers to call.

You can call and check if you have coverage for Mayo. This is the page about insurance and from there you can find the contact phone number.
