It getting harder to get timely appointment from recent years development in BC. It went from be able to book family doc in the same week to now about 1 month to 4 months away depending on how popular your doctor is. So with specialist it’s gonna get harder.
Yeah, walk-ins are not a solution. I’ve been on waitlists for a family doctor about 12 years now, and nothing’s ever popped. I sign up again roughly every two years. :P
Don’t know if this will help but I just got my mother a family doctor near by. So the trick apparently is to just go around your neighborhood (like big enough city area) and see if new clinic pops up. If some new clinic showed up, just pop in and ask if they have family doctor or nurse practitioner that takes patients. (And when I go back to ask if I can transfer myself over the doctor is already not taking. Lol)
My mom was also on the BC wait list for about a year, I think that’s not working as intended.
