In my experience, they are often young and at the beginning of their career. They are still medical doctors, not to take anything away from them, but I mostly rely on them for referrals to specialists as needed.
One Medical removes some friction from the overall system, which as a non-American I find incredibly frustrating.

Maybe because they have been to medical school more recently, when evidence based techniques were taught with more rigor. E.g. https://www.bmj.com/content/357/bmj.j2286 https://www.bmj.com/content/357/bmj.j2286. Now this study only concerns hospitalists, and it's just one study, so it shouldn't make you avoid older doctors necessarily. But definitely what there is no data for is a bias against younger doctors.
