Neither of the offices I referenced in the post offer that service. Still, it would be one step removed from actually scheduling the appointment. So there may still be longer intervals than one would otherwise expect. A better fix would be to allow multi-year scheduling. That can't be hard. I don't know why apparently common physician office scheduling software doesn't permit it. @corey – That would be a technical fix. Neither of the offices I referenced in the post offer that service.
