Thomas Flood is right there in Las Vegas with you and although he has both a day job and concentrates on building his own line of mandolins, he has been known to do repairs. He does know mandolins. You could see if he can help you.
A good set up consists of checking and adjusting, if necessary, the action at the nut, the action at the bridge, the neck relief (by adjusting the truss rod), and the intonation.
Your problem could also be caused by a loose fret end that has popped up. press the ends of your frets carefully with your fingernail and watch for movement.
