The doctor can't see you now.

Sarah Mart would like to see her endocrinologist every three months. That's a tough thing to schedule-but not because Mart, the 41-year-old director of research at a nonprofit public health organization in Petaluma, Calif., is too; busy.It's difficult to get an appointment with Mart's endocrinologist and the other endos in the practice because they have too many patients and not enough open appointment times, says Mart, who has type 1 diabetes. "I've seen other endocrinologists in San Francisco and the Bay Area as well and it's been that hard for all of them."
