[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have no issues getting in quickly (within the month) for a mammogram at Walter Reed. 
Every other referral I’ve gotten has been sent to civilian (dermatology and sleep). Yet when I’ve been at Walter Reed, it appears like a ghost town. 
Not helpful, but also struggling with Tricare right now. [/quote]

It took me six months to get a mammogram.  Specialists are 3-9 months.  Primary care varies, usually I can see my doctor by phone within a week.  I use doctors on demand more.  MRI, ct, ultrasounds are 2-3 months out but you have to keep calling for a few weeks to just schedule the appointments.   Rarely see the same doctor twice.  Been years and finally have a possible diagnosis but no doctor at wr can treat it and no one will accept my referral even if I private pay as only a few places treat it.  Most docs are residents or fellows and mess things up.  Took my kid in and the resident changed and gave hs all the wrong meds so have to go back and get it fixed.  Did not get to see our doctor who I scheduled with.  I have to make peds appointments a few months out.  [/quote]
