Urgent care are the worst. You will see a PA not a doctor. You need to go ti Emergency room with all information of what time, where, who was incomved which vehicle were you in. Injury might show up later, but you need to go to Hospital and later get police report.

PA and Nurse Practioners aren't incompetent in fact they are highly skilled. There's a massive gap in doctors in primary care that will continue to be worse. There are shitty docs, PAs and NPs but just because they aren't a doc do not discount them. My wife is a primary care provider I've heard so many stories of doctors not catching things that PAs/NPs catch. Please don't be dismissive because the title isn't doctor.

I am talking of the general amd norm NOT the exceptions. My three siblings their spouces and few nephews and nieces are MDs so I know what those clincs are. Then they should charge accordingly. If I am paying to see a doctor, I better see a doctor. Many are under impression that they would walk on to see a primary care DOCTOR not a primary care PROFESSIONAL, which are different in everything.

How many of your 8 plus relatives that are doctors work in the ED? Why do you care what you pay? Are you self pay or do you have insurance? Would you be willing to drive around in an emergency situation looking for an MD?

Primary care providers are primary care providers some are Docs, some are NPs and some are PAs. You're very misguided and biased with your views.
