When I need to see my family doctor I can usually get an appointment pretty quickly, within the next day or two. Or I go to a walk in clinic and wait an hour

I’m sure there are crazy cases out there! In my experience (my family and friends) luckily we’ve never had crazy wait times. One callout is if you need to see a very specialized doctor that could take longer!

Fam doctor is quick, specialists weeks

This is a very vague question…to which the answer is…it depends. I get same day service for issues that are urgent at a walk-in clinic. For routine check ups usually takes a few weeks to find a time that is available and works for my calendar. For specialist appointments it can take months depending on where I sit in the hierarchy of importance with my issue vs others.

I’ll also add that COVID really messed up specialist related appointments. I had to see a specialist and was scheduled early in the pandemic but that got delayed a few months when the cancelled all non-emergency surgeries. But pre-COVID it would take a few months to see a specialist. But my issues aren’t life threatening.
