Hey! In this area it’s entirely possible that good PCPs are booking new patients visits 6+ months out, because new patient appointments are usually a much longer time slot than established patients or symptom visits.

I’d just suck it up and make an appointment for much further down the line. Or you could book new patient visits with more than one doctor and cancel the one you don’t need. In general it’s much harder to find a good PCP because they are not compensated as well as specialists and have to do much much more paperwork.

Good luck!

Nope. Called 3 hospitals and all said, “we’re not accepting new primary patients”. Not like, there’s a waiting list, not like, we can’t book you for a year. It was, nope. Move along little boy

I have had good experiences at the Phylis Jen Center for Primary Care at the Brigham. It’s a group practice and many of the PCPs there are accepting new patients according to their website. Then if you end up w someone you like you have access to the whole MGH/BWH system
