Considering most are booked 12-18 months out I'm pretty annoyed about how far out I have to book doctors these days, but forgive me if I doubt the 12-18 months number. I recently booked a dermatologist checkup and it was four weeks. Maybe if you are only willing to take one specific Doctor. What city are you in?
