It's good to see every responder setting the record straight. Probably the only doctors with a 7 month wait are dermatologists in Beverly Hills! You can be seen at TVH the same day if you are ill, maybe by a different doctor or NP, but they will do everything to accommodate you.
Perhaps there was a highly unusual circumstance. Could the primary care MD be on the verge of a 6 month sabbatical? Could it be a female physician who needed 6 months off for a high risk pregnancy? Could the doc need prolonged medical treatment of their own? But barring such unusual conditions, 7 months is not likely, nor is 7 weeks or even 7 days. Seven hours is more likely.
I hope the OP is happy with their new doctor. Of course, if he/she is a solo practitioner, the chances of a long wait are exponentially higher.
