How soon can I be seen?
Our appointment secretaries can provide the information you need to set up an appointment. Depending on your condition, an urgent or emergency appointment can be expeditiously handled.

Do I need a referral from my physician?
Your request for an appointment can be made without a referral from your physician. You should bring with you any records, X-rays, or biopsy materials (for example, marrow or lymph node biopsy slides) relating to your condition. It would be to your advantage to first obtain approval if you are a member of a managed care organization.

Can I receive treatment at Mayo?
A wide variety of outpatient and inpatient therapies are available at Mayo. These range from simple to complex treatment programs covering all types of treatment including bone marrow and peripheral stem cell transplant.

A number of research treatments are available from Mayo hematologists. These include Mayo Clinic sponsored research programs, National Cancer Institute or cooperative group programs, and pharmaceutical sponsored trials. Facilities for these treatments include the Cancer Center Outpatient Chemotherapy Unit, the General Clinical Research Center (GCRC), and the Rochester Methodist Hospital Hematology and Transplant units.

What if I want treatment closer to home?
Many patients live too far from our center to receive all their care here. Such patients may elect to receive their care closer to home. Mayo hematologists commonly work with home physicians to deliver the best care possible.

Some treatments of a highly investigative nature can only be given at Mayo Clinic. Your Mayo hematologist will work with you to make whatever arrangements are best in your particular situation.
