I can only speak from my experience but my insurance does not require a referral for a specialist and my wife was able to find one she wanted to see, called to make an appointment, and was in to see her within less than 3 weeks. This specialist was very good and once meeting her I was pretty impressed with our quickly we were in but as my wife said we have great insurance so they got us right in. Our PCP is outside of the city but we routinely make appointments in the city with specialist as necessary. If finding a PCP in the city is difficult look outside with an affiliated practice.

This exactly what I did and I found a PCP outside of the city. We have only met virtually, but it works for now. Do you happen to know what hospital your wife was able to see the specialist so quickly?

I realize this may also depend on this medical field specialist she was seeing.
