Timeline for Neurology in Rochester?

Posted by tsinnc @tsinnc, 23 hours ago

Hi everyone,

My physician referred me to Mayo Rochester ‘s Neurology department in mid-October. I had my phone call with them on 10/21/25, and was told I’d likely hear back within 7-10 business days about whether or not they would be able to accept my case. It’s been longer than that, but I haven’t received a denial letter yet, either. Does anyone have recent experience with this department, and how long they had to wait to hear back? Thank you!

Welcome @tsinnc, It's been quite a few years since I got a referral from my Mayo Family Clinic primary care doc for an appointment with a neurologist but it did take a few months to get the appointment due to the number of appointment requests being handled and I'm sure that there are more requests than available appointments now. It has been a lot longer than the expected 7 to 10 business days since they were supposed to call so if it were me I would try calling them to see if there has been an update or any openings.
