[quote=Anonymous]Not that far out but might as well be! How are you all dealing with doctors who have no availability for months and months and months? Or wait they have one slot at 7:30am 3 months from now which I can do but my elderly parent cannot be ready by 6:00am to drive 20 miles but takes an hour because of traffic and after that availability starts in late 2Q 2026 or even 3Q for new patients and patients already in their medical system but just have not yet seen by that doctor? 
We experienced similar when switching gp's last year but had many other options including their old gp if push came to shove and the wait was worth it, but now that we need a specialist (and judging by lack of availability so do others) we're shocked by the wait time. We're on a couple different waitlists but I fear their health taking a turn. I started off with recommended highly rated docs and moved to some with the fewest legit complaints about them (I've dealt with my share of mean front desk staff or terrible parking or long wait times) and am now on 1 star didn't kill someone and even some of them didn't have openings before Memorial Day. Are you harassing or begging for a cancellation spot? Keeping fingers crossed and praying your parent stays afloat until summer? Threatening to camp out in their lobby?[/quote]
