I think it may be because it takes so long to check a neurological patient. My husband does wait a long time. I must have at least a million doctors (they seem to be part of the aging process), but I have to wait only in those whose offices are very busy. I choose to go there and wait because the doctors are good and I like them (apparently a lot of people like them, My choice is to wait a long time for an appointment or a long time in the office, and sometimes both) The others have a short wait, but they are even more specialized than the neurologists are. I know this doesn't make waiting any easier, but that is what happens in a good doctors office, too many patients who prefer not to change MD's. Nita
