Almost every physician office leaves several slots free each day for sick appointments that are scattered throughout the day. Sounds like you'll just have to wait it out.

I am 77 and have never had an appointment for a six-month check except for a blood test and even then am not required to see doc or anyone else to go over results. When I want to check my records, I use the online patient portal and, if necessary, send a message with a question or two. So I wonder if those here who seem to be constantly going to doctor for routines may be overdoing it?
