Extreme difficulty occurs when trying schedule an appointment with my provider. Why can't appointments be made 1-year out and then change if necessary? Preferential scheduling should be given to long-term patients of CC. It's always a hassle and has been for the 17 years I've been going to CC.

I had been trying to get my follow up appointment since January since at procedure the dr said I should come back in 3 months. When I finally could get someone to get back with me there were no appts until May ( 2 months later).
