I’m using ALPA medical - AMAS - in Colorado for help and am pleased with their service so far. If you aren't an ALPA member they will still work with you for a fee. No idea what the fees are though.
No experience with the Mayo Clinic, but they certainly have name recognition.

Were you able to get your medical back?

2 years waiting period for Pneumothorax? When I called AMAS they said 3 months wait and then if you get your Special medical the FAA monitors you for 2 years. After 2 years if no other pneumothoraxes have happened they will remove the Special Issuance requirements.
I have to check again with AMAS to find out for sure.

Sorry for the late response. No update as it is a 3 month waiting period before I can submit my documents to the FAA. I will keep everyone posted
Stay healthy.
