No, just an ordinary family doctor. Coincidentally, my neighbor across the street, a 70-year-old woman, had her longtime family doctor retire. She was given a list of names recommended by her doctor. She called the first one to make an appointment and — believe it or not — received one for January 2025 (not the same doctor as me). I told her we should go as a couple to both appointments for moral support.

Woah. Where in the United States is this? Have you tried looking around at different providers or is there a extreme shortage?
Might as well drive or fly to another area for healthcare.

Wow, I'm in the Nova/DC area. Thats really somewhat surprising to hear.
Does Charlottesville have a medical network like One Medical that exist there?
Kaiser's web portal showed no PCP doctors available, but when I called I was able to get assigned.
