Patient first doctors have misdiagnosed me so many times. They're only worth a trip if you need a doctor's note or can't get in anywhere else for an illness imo. I go to planned parenthood for regular exams and while they can take a while to get in to, they offer great care.

Agreed. I had to go to one late in the evening after a bicycle crash. They were obviously understaffed and overworked. They didn't clean the wound properly before gluing it shut and aI got a staph infection. Not fun.

Patient first unfortunately understaffs physicians and loads up on midlevels (NPs and PAs)- making medical error much more likely.
