Yes, totally. I only see the person I consider "My Dr" if there is a sick visit and even then more often than not I find myself at Urgent Care.
About 10 years ago my General Practitioner's office started to offload me to their Network's Urgent Care for the entire family,I didn't like them at all. Over time I found an Urgent Care I liked with way better hours who kept most everyday medications like Ear Infection Antibiotics etc on hand.
Best guess is as insurance paid less and less the General Practitioner Dr's started to sort themselves into the better paying Urgent Care facilities and it now seems like this is the way things are now. If I need to see someone in particular I request Telemedicine, seems the Drs are far more accommodating this way.
