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.

My grandson has all his specialist at Shands except for one in Orlando if it is not an emergency yes you have a six month wait, it is beyond ridiculous. We have waited for one of his neurologist appointment for 10 months, mind you this is pediatric specialist.
I hope everything is okay with you. The good news is once you are a patient you don’t have those wait times anymore ……….
