A routine check up appointment often requires a wait these days——and why does that even matter?

The important thing is the ability to see a doctor quickly if you are having a problem.

I don't go to the doc that much, things have changed. That particular health system has all my records for the last 10-15 years, so I'd prefer to stay with them. And yes, if anything serious there are other options. But am still really surprised at the 2 month wait to see a GP, even as a new patient. This is a large system/network in an area with good demographics and income. Healthcare providers all compete for patients/customers, more now than ever. That's why it's surprising.
