Hi!! That’s a tough one to figure out !! When I found out about mine in December (4.2) I asked to be referred to a cardiologist and the family dr also sent a referral to a surgeon. It’s a 6-9 month wait for cardiologist. But got into the surgeon in 2 weeks. Surgeon ordered a 6 month check and it’s now at 4.4 . I have a phone follow up with surgeon tomorrow . Still waiting to get into the cardiologist?? It’s weird . I would try for both!!

@glendamn Thank you, I was able to make an appointment pretty easily with a cardiologist in Miami ( I am in St. Pete, it's about a 4-hour drive). I made it at Mount Sinai in Miami Beach, they have an aortic center there. I figured I should get established there in case I need surgery at some point, then also have a cardiologist here for routine screenings, but I will also have no issues traveling to Miami if that is my only cardiologist, as it is worth the drive. Good luck finding a good doctor. It doesn't seem like it should take that long to get one. In the meantime, at least you have a surgeon watching you! Hugs, xoxo
