My partner has a number of chronic medical conditions. In general dealing with doctors is a pain for various already cited reasons. One advantage of the American system is that, with the right insurance, you can book almost any specialist with no gate keeping. We've eventually found a few very helpful doctors who spend a lot of time with their patients. The general things that tie them together: - Older (40+) so already made money and paid off their medical school loans. - Their own small practice rather than part of a larger medical system or having partners. - Negative reviews about long waiting times. If a patient needs more time then they spend it but that does make other patients have to wait. Covid has been very helpful as more routine visits can now be done over the phone rather than having to go somewhere.
