is this your first appointment with this dermatologist? i know around here, new patient appointments take quite awhile to get, but then once you're an established patient, then there is less waiting and you can even get in for emergency appointments. when i was getting my weird leg rash that came and went every week or two and peaked for a day or two, he told me "just come in" so they could do a quick biopsy while it was there. but that was only once i was established. so even though i haven't needed his services for quite some time, going on 3 years now? i make sure i'm considered one of their patients so i can pop in when something pops up! so if its your first appointment, maybe just make sure you're an established patient after that. and if you're an established patient already, could you ask for an emergency appointment, explain the situation? maybe you already tried?
