What does Mayo do when your last appointment is finished?

Posted by cdbanks @cdbanks, Jul 2 1:11pm

Hi:
A bit frustrated .... my husband has had every test in the book except the DaTscan, which is scheduled for the end of July. We've been back and forth to Mayo for 4 months from Chicago. Even though it's become clear to us that it's most likely Parkinsons or something neuro-muscular, we have not gotten a final diagnosis, and they can't see us for 4 more weeks. I am concerned that once we get a diagnosis, how do we find specialists in our area, does Mayo recommend or refer? And that could take weeks to get an appointment. Any practical advice would be welcome.

They Told Me My Sister Did Not Need A Second Appointment And To Find A Dr. In NJ .
They Gave Me No Recommendations For Drs Just Said To Make Sure They Are A Movement Disorder Dr. For Parkinsons . Thye Just Told Us There Thoughts On Medication And The Disease. It Was Far For No More Information Then We Got In NJ They Confirmed Theres Nothing New Out On The Disease Or Treatment SO That Was A Little Disappointing But That Was Our Experience There And Hope That Helps You .
