Waitlist

UPMC now offers waitlist options for patients who wanted to be seen sooner by their doctor or care team. When scheduling an appointment, you can ask your office to add you to the waitlist* and you’ll be contacted if a sooner appointment** becomes available through your UPMC patient portal.
