When pursuing a need to see a medical provider one does not expect to be offered something over 6 months away.
It is somewhat a concern that a medical provider would not think twice about offering such a lengthy wait.
I was just not prepared for such long lead times.
Makes the 2.5 hour ride to Mayo in Jacksonville look more and more acceptable.

Shands is very disorganized and downright patient un-friendly. My wife had an orthopedic appointment scheduled many months in advance, drove the hour and a half up to Shands, and waited four or five hours only to be told that the doctor was called to treat some football players, and would not see her.
Go to Mayo. It is much better.
