So, I had my surgery consult in April and my MD quotes an average 45 day wait from consult to surgery date.....13 weeks later....Im still circling the runway. I called my Dr. office and Im transferred to a coordinator who never picks up the phone and rarely returns calls. They were all so nice in the beginning, but the only time I scored a callback.....when I suggested the Dr. refer me to another Dr. who could fit me into their surgery sched.

I called another Dr to see about moving up my timeline.....I would have to see him of course, then resubmit to my insurance but his office staff assures me they can get me seen and schedualed within two weeks. Aguh!!! Am I being unreasonable? Is this the normal wait time? I just feel so frustrated.

Have you reseached the new doctor? Which one is more experienced? This should be the most important question. Good luck.

I think if new doctor has enough experience, I would jump ship and go with him. Thirteen weeks seems like a long time to wait. If they are already all set with insurance and everything else, why couldn't they put you on the schedule, even if it was 45 days later?

Just when you're ready to dive off the deep end.......You're given a Date....and of course, you take it. Thank you, for your comments.
