There is always someone around to ask for advice or a quick second opinion. Solo practitioners can be excellent, but some are isolated, fall behind current information, and tend to make decisions on their own with no back up. Then there are those that are alone because no other MD wants to be associated with them. Be smart and thoroughly research your choice and get personal recommendations.

If you are talking about one of the "Clinics" I concur - but that won't happen here. And, IMO, a large group doesn't really equate to quality. I do my research and pick a PCP based on my criteria. I have had very good docs over the years, and am fortunate to have one here - a solo practitioner. I have worked with docs for 40+ years and seldom have made a selection error.
