FYI--When I went to Mayo Clinic in Rochester in 2007 they told me that they normally don't do the skin biopsy anymore because they can obtain the same info from other tests that indicate small fiber neuropathy. I believe this would be the vibration, cold sensation, and heat-pain sensation. My cold and heat-pain were abnormal so they concluded probably small fiber neuropathy.

I'm not sure, but I don't think that Mayo does the testing for the skin biopsies anymore. They don't do it in their labs, I mean.
From many posts I've read over the last 12 or so years, Mayo is on the list of the good places to go for PN evaluation & testing, but...... it seems to be on the bottom of the list. Preferences for other centers seem to be higher and experiences at Mayo seem to be left wanting, in many posts.
Cornell-Weill, Cleveland Clinic, Johns Hopkins, Jack miller Center to name a few, seem to get a higher experience and test rating than Mayo.
