Default How long did it get your Primary Doctor to send your Referral letter to your Surgeon?

Hello,

It will be two weeks tomorrow since my Doctor said he would send me a referral letter to my Surgeon. Am I being impatient or does it take that long for him to send out the dictation and such?

Thanks,
Bren

That's really difficult to put a number to. My PC has a great staff and they had my referral letter faxed over to my surgeon in two days. I think it depends on how busy they are, but two weeks sounds like a long time. Sounds like it's time to check up on them and remind them if they haven't done it yet.
