I notice a problem with getting a referral from your doctor to see a specialist. The primary doctor will have a date restriction say two weeks. But the specialist earliest appointment may be three weeks or longer. Making the referral expire.

What do you suggest

I had to get referrals from my primary, and they made it effective for 6 months. Talk to the person at your doctor who handles referrals and tell them you need more time. Or make the appt first and then tell your primary when it is.

Very Good
