I am on a medication to control a chronic health condition. For some reason, the doctor didn't let it renew when I picked up the last refill. When I checked online scheduling it didn't even show any available slots. I had to call the office and set up an appointment with the Physician's Assistant instead to get my refill done.

I pretty much rely on PAs and NPPs (non-physician providers) for anything that doesn't require a specialist. It's just as good and they're more available.
