@bruizersmom I’m in Philly with several large hospitals nearby. While we have many docs in Center City, the problem is GETTING an appt.
First visits to see specialists take 6 months so you play the game calling each hospital to book the earliest available appt with Anyone in the specialty you need. Waiting lists for cancellations are hit or miss. Mostly miss.
Does anyone else have problems getting new Doctor appts?

@janetbender Yes, and also a problem scheduling follow up appointments. We schedule six months in advance to see an excellent movement disorder specialist in Philly. It appears Jefferson has a good program based on conferences I attended and they appeared to have more appointments available.
Best wishes, Joe
