An personal example would be...last winter I'd developed what I believed to be bronchitis, a sinus infection along with flu-ish symptoms. Rather than call my primary I just went to Urgent Care and had it taken care of. I mainly see my primary for scheduled appointments.

Kinda defeats having a primary physician. That is what the primary is for. You should not have to keep going to a urgent care for thing that your family doctor or so called primary is suppose to be doing????????????????
I have asked Dr.y about getting test done, and about seeing specialist. I check at the desk and am told you are getting a referral. Only once has this worked out. Most of the people I work with had to change physicians last year due to insurance. so we all started with Dr. Y. but most have changed to someone else. She is a really nice person to talk with. But just not happy with how the set up goes there. With my insurance as most,, the copay's are higher to see a urgent care. Now Paramount Urgent Care is the best I think of the ones around here, but the Dr. we use to have in Leesburg always took care of the needs. If you were sick, they took care of it, never referred you to a urgent care. I think of my Family Physician as the star of the team, why should I have to go to a substitute for care??? Just my thoughts...
