Default How Long Do You Have To Wait To Get An Appointment?

Perhaps I should have made this a poll....

Just curious what the average booked out time is for people's ENT's. I need to talk to Ainsley's ENT about CPAP and thought, I'm not ready but should make an appointment now so we have it when I am ready. He's booked out until mid August!!!! That's 3 1/2 months away! And because there were limited times available I took the appointment on 8/30. That's nearly September. So much for any plans to do anything with Ainsley's airway over the summer.

Maybe it's time for a new ENT. I don't even love our ENT all that much. And I think I could get in to see Dr. Cotton sooner than this guy.
