I live in a large city in the midwest in a swing state. I spent a week on the phone trying to get an appointment. And 2 days were intense searching. I have good insurance. I also can not get a family doctor to schedule a new appointment. I think we as a country do not have enough health care providers and mental health care is very hard to come by. I went with a larger practice for my obgyn and had to do the same with T and pdoc. It is much better if the techs can tell you straight up if the T's and pdocs are accepting new clients. I finally called the OSU psych dept and they told me about a new doc starting practice in the fall. I waited about 2 months for the first pdoc appointment and about 1.5 months for the first T appointment. No wonder people get desperate and use the emergency room!!!!!!!!!!!! No if I can only find a medical doctor in my area?????????
