Another vote for Dr Harding! I took a fall and turned my hand into a pound of ground meat in a nanosecond.... Awesome treatment at The Villages Hospital ER by a PA who put the basic pieces back together, and they would not let me leave until they had arranged for me to see Dr Harding within 24 hours. It took some doing, but she gave me a functional hand back!

Yes, I agree: To get the best, you have to wait (if it's not an emergency). It's not so much that it's difficult to get an appointment but rather that it'll be a long wait. I suggest making the soonest appointment available and then calling regularly to see if there's been a cancellation. I had once recommended her to a neighbor who cringed at the thought of having to put up with I can't remember exactly what for so long. He followed the suggestion of checking virtually daily and turned his nearly three month wait into three weeks! It's worth a try. All the best....
