It's extremely difficult to get in to see my primary provider in a timely way. It's often months away or, if we beg, might get in sooner. Almost always, my husband & I are told to go to urgent care. They don't know us there, don't  really try to learn our health histories, are in a hurry to move us along, aren't physicians. What's the point of having a primary care  physician who gives continuity of care if you can't access them? This isn't the fault of the doctors, who are running ragged trying to keep up with the volume. It's the whole system around them that cares more about profits than caring for people.
