Today that waiting list hovers at about 100, and the group model is being extended to Veterans Health Administration centers around the country. Endocrinologist David Shewmon started group appointments in his Wooster, Ohio, practice last January and has reduced the wait time for a follow-up appointment from six months to about a week.
