How long is the typical wait time to see a specialist for medical weight management in Canada?

Wait times vary significantly by province and by whether you're going through a family doctor referral to a specialist versus a more directly accessible provider (like an NP or GP managing it themselves, or virtual/online options). Specialist wait times for weight management clinics in the public system can run into months in many areas, which is part of why some people opt for family doctor, NP, or virtual care routes when the case doesn't require complex specialist involvement.
