Getting that first appointment for a specialist can definitely have a long wait time. It took me 1 year to get in with a specialist to see my daughter diagnosed. I was was several waitlists trying to see any doctor. Granted this is the worst it'll ever be because covid caused a backlog, but I'm told by other parents they had to wait 3 months. It took me 3 months to get that first appointment with mu specialist too.

Now after I've seen that doctor once? Now I can make almost same day appointments and I have access to staff nurses for basic questions, etc. But yeah the wait for specialists can be long. It's usually not for generalist specialists. Like I saw a neurologist within a week, but the really specialized neurologist I got recommended out to was a 3 month wait.
