Even the bad docs have long wait lists. The good docs often just refuse to see any more people because they can't manage more. Which is a good thing when you think about it, you should be suspicious of a DR that agrees to see as many patients as he can physically find time for. I'm not even sure how to go about seeing these DRs. Usually you need a referral from a general practitioner. Do I just go to my family DR with a name in hand and say, could you send me to this guy?
