people waiting across 170 providers

That spread is the whole point. Someone waiting at the slowest provider could, on these figures, be seen about 23 weeks sooner elsewhere, if they know to ask. The median also hides the tail: 3,187 of the 360,670 people on this list nationally have been waiting more than a year.

Other specialties

Providers with fewer than 50 people waiting are not shown, because a median over a handful of patients says more about chance than about the queue. Some providers listed run community or single-procedure services rather than full surgical ones; check what a provider actually treats before asking to be referred.
