Your experience and my experience vary a lot.

My background is CA & NYC. I am able to get same day or same week (if less urgent) appts by calling my primary (PCP). In the event that my PCP has no availability or it's late in the day, I'll consider going to urgent care since it's the only thing open.

I can understand other people posting how hard it is to find a good PCP (or even dentist frankly). I got lucky and found a good, local PCP that I've been seeing for years.
