Hi. I know a couple years ago my mom called Mayo and they had her fax all my medical records/test results for the group of docs to look at. This was to see if they felt they could help me before I flew out. You may want to call and see if you can do this. Where do you live now and who has been caring for you? Do you have a university hospital or teaching hospital near you? Right now my best pain doc out of the many I have seen is from a teaching hospital though he is the head I think. Anyhow I had been to more prestigious places like Cleveland Clinic and UCLA and my care was not nearly as good as what I get with him. He takes time and looks outside the box. I am not against going to major places but what I am saying is that sometimes you can find good care close to home. Take care
