On another occasion, I had a semi-emergency and I got into see him that same day. On yet another occasion, I had something pop up .. I called TVHS. My primary was on leave, so they got me in to see another doctor (Clifford) later that day.
I needed two specialists (allergist and podiatrist) and my primary referred me to them ... and I'm happy with both.
So, I think good health care is out there. From what I can see, and given the looming impact of ACA, I think the TVHS is the best option, and offers excellent care. Good luck with your quest.

Happinow, I'm concerned to hear of your experience with your primary care doctor as well as the quick care doctor. I feel that neither were acceptable. I know it's different here... and I know it's tougher to get in anywhere during snowbird season. But 11 hour waits at the hospital and your experience today is distressing to hear.
TexaninVA, thank you for posting your experience with your doctor. It's good to see there are good doctors here. I am lucky that I haven't had anything come up that I have needed to see someone fast, or that I have needed a specialist. I hope when that time comes... my doctor comes through. If she doesn't... I will be getting in touch with you. *smile*
