[quote=Anonymous]Civilian here. PT is always 4-8 weeks for adults and that's calling multiple places. If for a kid, even worse and good luck finding one that takes kids and takes insurance. Had to drive 45 minutes for the only available one once.

Pediatrician - within a few days but not necessarily our typical/ favorite provider and also I was willing to go to their office that's 20 minutes away instead 7 minutes.

Dermatologist new patient visit for a young child took about 4+ months and a long drive a few years ago, but there aren't too many.

We've used OrthoVirginia's walk in clinic. You may have to wait all day or sometimes they get full. Never gotten referred after an ER visit.

We have seen pulmonology, allergy, dermatology, and  an eye specialist (off the top of my head) for an adult very quickly like same/next day for acute issues but it takes a doctor calling to get you in. Cardiology may not have been super fast for the initial appointment but it wasn't an acutely urgent issue. Getting tests from the established cardiologist can take weeks.

MRI or similar - it's been a while but maybe like 2-3 weeks at the most when we have lots of personal schedule conflicts but willingness to try locations all over the area. I almost always prefer a time I like to a closer location.[/quote]
