In my experience it depends on the speciality you need.

If you need to see an Otolaryngologist (ENT), you might be able to get an appointment within a few weeks. If you need to see an Endocrinologist, it might be 4-6 months.

There is a specialist shortage. Refs I've sent to Endros take months. I've even had to refer patients to places nearly 150 miles away.
