Those on Medicare or Medicaid will wait their turn I guess. The Mayo Clinic has always had an excellent reputation. Maybe the CEO should have stifled it.
This has been going on for two years at least, not particularly with this clinic but we spent two hours on the phone trying to find an orthopedic doctor who would accept a new Medicare patient for my father in law. Some said they would take Medicare but gave an appointment four months down the road which is unacceptable for someone needing an orthopedic surgeon but most simply said they were not taking new Medicare patients.
