The only reason I can see why anyone would say they can't see the doctor and just the PA is because the doctor isn't available for an appointment when the patient wants their appointment, or they simply didn't communicate that they wanted the doctor when making the appointment.

I've been free to see either one I want so long as they're available when scheduling. I have at least seven or more regular, special purpose or semi-urgent visits per year, and with my next two appointments I have one with the doctor and the other with the PA. No problem, no disappointments, no dissatisfaction!

This matches our experience at Pinellas.
