Gonna be a long time to get an appoint.ent, no matter who she chooses.
My husband just saw a S&W dermatologist yesterday. The appointment was made 6 months ago. His recheck appointment is in another 6 months from now. Good luck!
WHAT!
Dr. Jason Weaver. He is the best
Unfortunately, it is difficult to get in to see any specialists around here. My son got in to see one of Weaver's PA's in a much shorter time frame than Weaver. Try Childs Dermatology and see how fast they can get her in.
Have her go to S/W care at Univ/hwy 6 and have a doctor look at her. If he/she think that your daughter needs to see a dematologist, he will give a referral. You can then go to the derm checkin on the second floor and often get worked in around scheduled patients but might have to wait an hour or so. W/o a referral, there's no chance.iisanaggie said:

Dr. Moore there is top-notch Derm doc.
+1 Weaver but you will be waiting for sure.
I've always gone to Childs dermatology. They're great but be aware it will probably be a 4+ month wait for a new patient appointment.
Assuming your freshman daughter is new to town. She needs to establish a relationship with a GP who can likely take care of her problem with treatment and be there when or if some other need arises, after all she will be here four years at least. I use the awesome Dr.Sibil Taquet at St. Joseph. She can recommend a specialist if the need arises. I use Dr. Weaver and have since he was a med assistant at Dr. Child's ofc. I have also seen Dr. Garcia. Very competent.
Dr Garcia at Weaver's office. Easier to get to and very competent.
my 92 YO mother got an appointment for the next week with Dr. Garcia.CEAg78 said:

I'm friends with several doctors in town and they all recommend both Weaver and Garcia too.
Kaitlyn at Brazos Valley Dermatology is very good too. A good thing about that outfit is if you can't see one of the three doctors, they will try to get you in with the others. I pretty much see all three now (severe eczema, super fun stuff). The wait can be long, but cancellations happen a lot, in part because by the time someone's appt. rolls around the condition has cleared up.
Probably need to go this route. Thnx!
+1 Dr. Stewart @ S&W Clinic. She is usually booked for months, but she is very thorough.
Y'all weren't lying. Some are booked until April! I called at the right time bc there's a cancellation next week. Super expensive though and she'll be seen for 5 minutes i bet and get the rx.
She's very good. My wife and I use her.
Dr Weaver. But the other doc in his office is good as well. It's a really long wait for new patients, so if she is willing to see a PA, Caitlin is awesome and usually has a shorter wait time! (And if she can't figure it out, she grabs Dr Weaver). I honestly can't recommend Dr Weaver and Caitlin enough. I had a big issue during one of my pregnancies, and they got me in within 24 hours (as a new patient- my OB called them because it was a weird issue). I saw Caitlin, who was thorough and honest (said she was stumped, but said what she thought it might be). Within 5 minutes, she had Dr Weaver in my room checking it (who also said it was really weird). Did a scraping, and within 30-45 minutes of first walking in their office, I had a diagnosis, plan, and prescriptions to help fight a fungal rash I had all over my body (between my fingers, on my face, stomach, back, arms, legs feet, scalp- I had about baseball sized blotches EVERYWHERE). They continued to followup my whole pregnancy with both me and my OB (which limited what I could take), and after I gave birth, they hit it hard with high powered meds to finally clear it up. They really were fantastic, live up to the hype about them, and are 100% worth the wait in my opinion (and I have seen derms most of my life)
Most all specialists are that way. My cardiologist appointment is the end of next June. I guess to see anyone sooner you would have to either have a heart attack or fake one? As you did, people get on the list for appointments in case there's a cancellation.bobcat90 said:

My experience is this often happens; you make an appt with one and you get an additional one on occasion. Since my body decided to declare war on me with sudden and severe eczema, this trio has been a Godsend.
