Both DW and I are happy with Colony. On the few occasions that our doctor was not available or booked solid, we were offered an PA or NP. Care has been excellent. When my parents arrived two weeks ago, we signed them up and they like their doc at Santa Barbara.

If you expect you doctor to be waiting 24/7 for you to roll thru the door, you need to hire a concierge doctor. Of course, you will pay 30-50K per year on top of your insurance. Also, remember that these folks have days off, vacation, meetings, etc.

Care is significantly better than at Kaiser in the DC and my doctors there was "available" with a 3 or 4 month wait.
