Aspiration Scheduling

[MotherofBellaDave]

My 15yr old has a 2cm nodule that needs to be tested. It has been over 3 weeks since the Dr. verified that a fine needle aspiration should be done and I have yet to have the actual procedure scheduled. I have called inquiring & have been told that I just need to be patient as it entails the scheduling of several different things as her anxiety level of needles had raised concern with the endocrinologist. Is it typical that it would take this long to schedule the actual appointment? Even if it was scheduled months away, at least I'd have a date set. I'm wondering if I should be taking her to a more specialized facility where they have equipment/staff readily available for this procedure.
