In my experience, that place runs like clockwork.

It all depends on the ailment, the physicians, facility utilization.
When I was pursuing their services it happened to be that their "quota" of medicare participants did not allow any additional patients. The representative stated they had a certain percentage of medicare patients. That was in September and they noted it would be well into the following year before an opening could be available. They were quite happy to provide alternate providers that were mostly past Mayo physicians.
I passed. Went through the same process at Shands and was admitted to a physician a week later.
