Why does it take so long to see a doctor now?

You need to find yourself one of those concierge doctors.

I just booked something for my son and first available was the end of February 2025.

My wife's clinics are booked through November right now.

I have the exact opposite issue. It’s been much easier for me to see my doctor than in years past.

This hands down if you can swing it.

I see my doctor on a moments notice whenever i need it. Get in to specialist quickly all coordinated by them, not just a referral and out you go. They have a sports physiologist i see quarterly who develops my work out routines, twice a year dexafit scans and VO2 tests. Every visit is at least a full hour talking through results and not just prescribe and get out of here. It's been well worth the money.

When my wife broke her humerus in Park City a few years ago, they were on the phone coordinating care 10 minutes after hitting the bottom of the mountain. Got one of the trauma ortho surgeons at Baylor to call a buddy in PC to clear his schedule for the 8 hour surgery the next morning. I'm convinced that care is the only reason she's regained full mobility.

I got in pretty quick. Less than a week, and that was to get established as a new patient.

Why don’t you lift weights and stop eating carbs so you don’t need the doctor

Must be nice to be on medicaid

Because democrats rule the country

There are so many tiers and options available these days that you don’t even need to go down the higher priced concierge route.

For example, some doctors may not offer unlimited visits and access, but they still offer several visits a year, plus things like an annual physical, blood work, EKG, etc. for a fraction of the cost of a true concierge doctor.
