Very well could be, he could use something more like a FastMed or Urgent Care which are clinics we have down here vs ER or Family Dr. Even here though, depending on what practice you go to you will see all grades of diff wait times. I finally switched from my last one because making an appointment is pointless when it takes an hour to call you back. The new practice I’m at, I may sit 5-10 in the lobby and then 5 in the room before the Dr. or PA sees me.
