At least for those that call early in the day. I didn't need to see MY doctor.
Part of the overload is that one of the doctors is out of commission after surgery. That means that his load has to be covered by the rest of the docs.

And yes, doctors get sick and injured, too. I suspect that they will be back to their usual same day routine shortly.

After a year of care at Colony, I can report never getting put off regarding an appointment.
