This depends on specialty. I’ve had no trouble booking an allergist or ENT within a couple of weeks. When I broke my finger, the urgent care sent X-rays to BI and I had an appointment the best day. When I had an afib attack I was booked the next business day at the BI Cardiac Direct Access unit. (It’s basically urgent care for cardiologists but needed a referral from my PCP, which we did by phone).

But a sleep specialist took several months.

Huh okay that's good to know. I figured the specialty would factor in - orthopedics is probably more fluid. Sorry to hear that you had an afib attack. I hope you have recovered and been healthy since!
