Several months ago I was given a date for an Ortho Surgeon that was almost one year away. Reason was four surgeons left practice. Doctor I wanted is highly rated so I signed up for the appointment.
I had and have a choice. Go to another doctor / hospital or wait. There are others available much sooner if you want to go to them.
I wish you the best with your process.

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.
