I'm in the US, and I see my GP every two weeks + can arrange for an appointment within about a day or over the phone whenever I need it.

If I need to be referred to a specialist though, I could be waiting months just for the initial consultation, and then months again before anything happens. Also, there just aren't specialists in my area for some things. Been trying to get a consult about dissociative disorder for years now.

My GP is great though, he constantly tells me about exciting new papers he's been reading and he loves to share science and research level stuff. It's clear that he loves his job, it makes me super happy.

(He's an MD, not NP, and he takes Medicaid)
