Bad luck then. I'm in Texas and it's same day GP appts and next day if you want not end of day walk in. Specialists are like 2 days for me and that includes back surgeon, neuro surgeon and my cardiovascular surgeon.
Now if you mean initial appointments for a SPECIFIC doctor then yes those can take a month or 2 to wait for an initial appt but even then that's only for really well known doctors and for the initial appt. Once you're an established patient those appts are days away. And if the wait time is too long you just ask for next available and it's that same week. But again that's for people who aren't establish patients (establishing patients is a much longer appt time required).
