You gonna start on walk-in and plead that you need a family doctor and a Obs-Gyne because you are **mo pregnant. Some doctors will take you in specially because she needs pre-natal care. Then it's easy to get a specialist first meeting.
Sometimes walk-ins will just refer you to Obs-gyne without taking you in as their patient. Another option is doctors would sometimes take families in as their patient even though their practice is full. Most specialist are referral base.
I almost forgot! Nurse practitioners would also take in patients as patient-family doctor relationship. Then they can refer you.
Thank you. I will try this :)
